FEATURES
The picosecond light pulser PLP-10 is an ultrashort pulsed light source that utilizes a laser diode (LD) head. It consists
of a controller and an LD head. Ten LD head types are available to accommodate various wavelengths, enabling optical
output over a broad wavelength range of 375 to 1,550 nm.
The PLP-10 is ideal for frequency characteristics evaluation of POF optical communications, response characteristics
evaluation of a photodetector device, and an excitation light source of a fluorescence lifetime measurement system.
Optical output is selectable from a window output or FC connector output.
