Pulsed Laser Diode Target Projector

SBIR’s Pulsed Laser Diode Target Projector is designed to provide a uniform collimated pulsed laser output at 1064nm. It can be used for testing both laser receivers and detectors, and also alignment of quadrant detectors used in laser guided missiles. 

The system includes a Newtonian type collimator, laser source and controller, and fiber optic/pinhole target assembly. The system can be operated manually via the front panel of the controller or remotely via an ethernet interface to a PC. 

Key Features of SBIR’s Pulsed Laser Diode Target Projector
  • PRF (Pulse Repetition Frequency): 20 to 12,500Hz
  • PRF Stability: +/- 0.005%
  • Pulse Width: 20 +/- 10ns
  • Pulse to Pulse Stability: +/- 2%
  • Variable Calibrated Irradiance
  • Various Trigger Modes:
    • Internal (free run)
    • External trigger (start laser firing)
    • Free run
    • External trigger pulse to pulse
