High Power Optical Source for LIDAR DATASHEET | MAY 2012 PHOTONIC SYSTEMS The EMCORE High Power Optical Source for Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) is a pulsed, high power optical light source ideal for LIDAR system testing and development. Housed in a self-contained, DC powered housing, it provides up to 1 W or more of mean power in the 1545 - 1562 nm wavelength region. The unit integrates a high-performance 1550 nm directly modulated fiber optic laser and high power optical amplifier. By customer request an external (or adjustable internal) RF signal provides user control over the operating laser output pulse width and repetition rate. An RS-232 interface, along with some vital analog signals, provides user monitor and control of source laser and amplifier operation.
