Pulsed Laser and LED Light Sources
The NanoLED range is a novel and economical light source system that utilizes pulsed laser diode and LED technology to generate short optical pulses over a wide range of repetition rates and wavelengths. Optical pulses as short as 70ps can be generated at repetition rates up to 1MHz.
The NanoLED package consists of a NanoLED controller and a range of interchangeable NanoLED, pulsed LED sources, each designed to be used over a specific wavelength range. Pulsed LED sources generate nanosecond pulses, while pulsed laser diodes sources generate picosecond pulses.
Each NanoLED source contains adjustable collection optics and a bayonet mounting flange to make incorporation into any optical system easy. Dedicated drive electronics in each NanoLED source means that plug-n-play operation is possible across the NanoLED range. A synchronisation output allows straightforward triggering of your existing data acquisition electronics.
HORIBA Scientific now offers a choice of two NanoLED controllers. The NanoLED-C2 is the bench-top module for stand-alone operation, and the FluoroHub-NL is our software controlled plug-in accessory card designed for use with the FluoroHub controller module.
Bandpass filters are available at most wavelengths.
