General Information
about Pulsed Laser Diodes
Pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) are available in the wavelengths 850 nm, 905 nm and 1550 nm.
All of our PLDs are developed and manufactured at our Laser Components production facility in Canada. Customer-specific requests can, therefore, easily be accommodated.
Fields of Applications
- Laser rangefinding
- Speed guns
- Laser scanners
- Defense & security
- Automotive industry
- Medical technology
- Measurement technology
Different Wavelengths - High-Quality Housing
The standard range consists of pulsed laser diodes with the following wave-lengths: 850 nm, 905 nm, or 1550 nm. We differentiate between two product lines: high-end PLDs and low-cost PLDs. Both product lines have a high-quality metal housing in common.
Low-Cost Series
The high-volume/low-cost series con-sists of pulsed laser diodes in a metal housing that are best suited for consumer products such as laser rangefinders. SMD housings are also available. In 2018 our first 80 W PLD received automotive qualification according to AEC-Q101.
SMD PLDs
The SMD-Option allows for high laser powers from a small housing.
QuickSwitch® PLDs
The QuickSwitch® series integrates the key components of the pulsed laser drive circuit into the same com-pact TO package as the laser chip. With a pulse width of only 2.5 ns, the QuickSwitch® devices are currently the fastest hybrid pulsed laser diodes available. Output powers from 72 W are offered.

Custom Solutions
Pulsed Laser Diodes customized to your needs
Cost-Effective, Even When Produced in Small Amounts
Close cooperation between customer and manufacturer has been our greatest success factor in manufacturing optimally customized products. Our customers are often pleasantly surprised by how reasonable our prices are for customized products.
LASER COMPONENTS Canada develops pulsed laser diodes (PLDs) suited to your field of application. Almost all product parameters can be adjusted e.g., wavelength, output power, and housing. It is also possible to develop completely new products.
Uncompromising Quality
Quality is an absolute imperative. The consistent application of quality management methods has resulted in the continuous advancement of products. New products and increasing efficiency are in constant demand.
As part of quality control, a life test rack was developed to simulate very different applications. The pulsed laser diodes being tested on the life rack are pushed beyond their approved limitations.
