PDL 800-D

• Accurate timing control

• Fast wavelength switching

• Broad method compatibility

• Smooth system integration

• Consistent long-term stability

The PicoQuant PDL 800-D is a versatile picosecond diode laser driver designed to provide precise and stable excitation for PicoQuant LDH and LDH-FA picosecond laser heads as well as PLS pulsed LED sources. Its crystal-locked timing architecture provides low-jitter pulse generation with selectable repetition rates from 2.5 to 80 MHz. The driver supports both internal and external triggering, synchronization output, and pulsed or CW operation, making it suitable for a wide range of time-resolved experiments. The PDL 800-D can also be combined with multiple compatible laser heads using the Laser Combining Unit (LCU) for multicolor excitation setups.

Light Source Compatibility: LDH, LDH-FA, PLS Series Wavelength Range: 266–1990 nm Operation Modes: Pulsed / CW Internal Oscillator: Crystal-locked, up to 80 MHz Base Frequencies: 80 MHz / 1 MHz Repetition Rate: 2.5–80 MHz Timing Jitter: Typ. 3–5 ps External Trigger Frequency: 10 Hz–80 MHz Trigger-to-Optical Output Delay: Typ. 35 ± 5 ns Synchronization Output: NIM, 6 ns pulse width Power Consumption: Max. 45 W Operating Temperature: 10–40 °C
