I would like to try using a red diode laser to create very fast laser pulses, with pulse widths of 1 to 5 nanoseconds or less, with pulses occurring at a low duty cycle, like 10 KHz. I need at least 200 mW of power during the pulses. I understand that the average power will be very low because of the low duty cycle. Does anyone know if an lpc-826 laser can give laser pulses this fast? If not, will some other red diode laser give this much power during such short pulses? (My application is to measure the speed of light using the time of flight technique, with a fast photodiode detector circuit that I am separately going to build.) Thanks for any help!
