Description

The PicoQuant Sepia PDL 810 is a single-channel picosecond diode laser driver designed to provide precise control of PicoQuant pulsed laser and LED heads. It supports both pulsed and continuous-wave (CW) operation, with repetition rates from single shot to 80 MHz. Operating parameters such as trigger source, repetition rate, and pulse energy can be configured via USB using a computer. The built-in crystal oscillator provides highly stable timing, while external triggering enables synchronization with other experimental equipment. The Sepia PDL 810 is compatible with a broad range of LDH and LDH-FA picosecond laser heads and PLS pulsed LEDs, providing wavelength options from the UV to the infrared.
