Sepia PDL 828

• Higher timing precision

• Improved long-term system stability

• Reduced setup complexity

• Reproducible measurement

• Easy system integration

• Scalable system growth

The PicoQuant Sepia PDL 828 is a modular multichannel picosecond diode laser driver designed for experiments requiring multiple excitation wavelengths and flexible timing control. It can operate up to eight laser or LED heads simultaneously or according to user-defined sequences. The system combines a Sepia Oscillator Module (SOM) with individual Sepia Laser Driver Modules (SLM). This architecture enables programmable pulse patterns including simultaneous, sequential, delayed, and burst operation. The Sepia PDL 828 is controlled via USB and dedicated Windows software, while stored settings allow the system to operate independently for automated measurement setups.

Number of Channels: 2–8, modular Compatible Sources: LDH, LDH-FA, PLS Series Laser Wavelength Range: 266–1990 nm PLS LED Range: 245–600 nm Operation Modes: Pulsed / Burst / CW Internal Repetition Rates: 2.5 / 5 / 10 / 20 / 40 / 80 MHz External Trigger: Up to 40 MHz Timing Jitter: Typ. 3–5 ps Burst Length: Up to 16.7 million pulses Gating: Fast and slow gate Computer Interface: USB 2.0 Operating System: Windows 11 Pulse Pattern: Simultaneous / Sequential / Delayed / Burst Sequence Specifications can vary depending on the selected mainframe, oscillator module, and laser driver modules.
