Manlight has announced the release of its new mini laser transmitter for lidar, telemetry and rangefinding applications.

Manlight has announced the release of its new mini laser transmitter for lidar, telemetry and rangefinding applications. The compact ML1550-PL-R-OEM, measuring 90 × 70 × 15 mm, is a pulsed fiber laser providing short to ultrashort pulse durations, adjustable from 2 to 50 ns, through a near diffraction limited randomly polarized beam with M² beam quality of <1.1. The air-cooled device features energy of up to 10 µJ, maintenance-free operation and a safety interlock.

Proprietary and patented “injection technology” enables the use of reliable broad-area laser diode pumps. The all-fiber design ensures robustness, without any optical parts to align or stabilize. Integration of the OEM system requires no after-installation service. Output power tunability is from 1 to 100%, typical output fiber length is 50 cm, operating temperature is from 0 to 50 °C, operating voltage is 5 VDC, and control mode is continuous operation or burst. Typical seed laser wavelength is 1550 nm. Other applications include target identification, mapping, 3-D and topography scanning, and weather and pollutant detection.
