About us

The PicoLAS GmbH, headquartered in Würselen, Germany, is specialized in developing and manufacturing very compact and efficient drivers for diode lasers which have achieved a couple of market prominences:

  • Base plate cooled cw drivers for fanless designs
  • High efficiency digital controlled cw and qcw drivers
  • Short pulse drivers for seeding and rangefinding applications

PicoLAS is Europe's number one for high speedseeding of fibre lasers.

The main markets are:

  • Medical (hair removal, skin treatment, ...)
  • Material processing (engraving, marking, cutting,soldering, drilling, ...)
  • Driving ultra short pulse lasers
  • Mil & Law enforcement (including high safety standards like SIL 3 and 4 or class e and higher)

The PicoLAS R&D team also develops customized drivers in close cooperation with the customers.

Dr. Markus Bartram founded the PicoLAS GmbH in 2005 in Aachen.

Due to the increasing production volume we invested in a PCB assembly line in 2016.

Since 2017 we have been milling the base plates of our devices with our own milling machine.

In 2019 PicoLAS moved to a building in Würselen to further expand the production and office space.

Products & Services

PicoLAS develops state-of-the-art compact and efficient drivers for laser diodes, LEDs and other applications. The fanless and baseplate cooled design is world unique. Drivers for extremely short current pulses (400 A) are available off-the-shelf. PicoLAS also offers one of the worlds fastest analog modulated driver for fiber laser seeding applications – the BFSVRM 03. The OEM current sources cover pulse durations of < 400 ps up to cw. The available current range is between < 0.1 A and up to 400 A. The LDP-CW 90-10 is the smallest 1 kW LD driver available on the market with up to 90 A on a “half brick” size footprint. It is very affordable, compact, efficient and base plate cooled. PicoLAS offers protective systems (Stackprotector) on most of the drivers. Our R&D team also develops customized drivers in close cooperation with the customers.

LDP-CW 20-50-S50/LDP-CW 90-10-S50/LDP-CW 130-05

PicoLAS offers a huge variety of “kilowatt-class” drivers in the famous half brick size. In cw operation solutions with up to 20 A @ up to 50 V, 90 or 130 A @ up to 10 V are available. Special solutions with a fully isolated output or an additional linear driver stage are also available. Higher currents up to 320 A will presented soon. All drivers feature an analog and a digital control option making their use easy. Of course, all drivers are conductively base plate cooled.

BFS-VDIG 03

The new digitally controlled seeder does not require an external analog arbitrary pulse shape generator. The pulse shape is loaded digitally into the driver and released by a triggering signal. Several different pulse shapes can be preselected. The supply voltage of 5 V makes the use easy. All Type 1 butterfly packages will fit in. Brand new and a real enabling factor is the increased stability being as high as 1*10-6.

LDP-VRM 025-09-0-White light laser driver solution

The LDP-VRM 025-09-0 is all applications enquiring a ready for use driver with integrated WLS, LD or LED. A high efficiency buck-boost regulator offers an input voltage being lower, equal or higher than the targeted device. The input voltage range offers the use in many applications like pocket flashlamps with 2S or 3S LiPo battery packs. Due to a μC supervisory the temperature is controlled and several options like soft start, presetted power levels can be programmed in our factory.
