An ultracompact, 100 picosecond pulsed laser designed for OEM system integration where space and power consumption matter.
VG10 offers adjustable repetition rates, high peak power and external trigger capability in a matchbox-sized footprint.
Optical parameters can be tailored to support specific instrument requirements.
VG10 offers picosecond laser performance with compact microchip structure. Our standard pulse durations include: 60 ps, 100 ps and 200 ps with custom engineering available.
Offering a standard pulse repetition range from 100‑200 kHz, with tailored repetition rate from single pulse to MHz available upon request.
A fast trigger-out signal is provided via an integrated monitoring photodiode with 300 ps rise time, ensuring precise synchronization in compact ranging modules and gated detectors.
Single-frequency operation with < 0.08 nm linewidth ensures mode‑hop free operation, critical for miniaturized spectroscopy instrumentation.
Measuring only 45 × 37 × 25 mm with < 5 W power consumption, VG10 is optimized for battery-powered equipment and handheld analyzers.
With M² < 1.3 and options for free-space or fiber-coupled delivery, VG10 enables tailored optical output to application needs.

This laser is built to be driven by your system, not babysat by an operator — suited to benchtop research and integrated instruments alike. Available integration interfaces include:
USB and RS-232 control of laser and TEC operation via a documented command interface, so repetition rate, pulse energy and status are under your software's control.
TTL trigger-in for externally clocked pulse initiation, and a low-jitter optical or electrical trigger-out for precise synchronization with detectors and acquisition.
Free-space or fiber-coupled output with a clean single-frequency spectrum, air or conduction cooling, and documented mounting and thermal-interface guidance.
An alignment-free, monolithic microchip cavity with no consumable optics holds performance across shock, vibration and temperature — suited to portable, airborne and field-deployed systems.
Wavelength, pulse duration (from 50 ps), pulse energy and repetition rate are configurable to your requirements — whether that’s a single research unit or integration into a product. Tell us what you need.
