LZ1535 Erbium Glass Laser Transmitter
LZ1535-10Hz-4ns-100uJ-21mm
100 uJ at 10 Hz, 4 ns
100 uJ transmitter in the 21 mm body, balancing aperture and size. Passively Q-switched erbium glass gives a pulse with no tail, and the 1535 nm wavelength sits in the eye-safe band, so it can be used at far higher energy than a 905 nm source in the same application.
