About us
PicoLAS GmbH, founded in 2005 and based in Würselen, Germany, specializes in the development and manufacturing of power supplies for laser diodes.
PicoLAS GmbH offers a unique and broad portfolio of drivers, ranging from 200 ps to continuous wave (cw), serving customers in both industry and research. The excellent reliability and attractive cost-effectiveness of all PicoLAS products are well known worldwide. Their compact and modular design allows for easy machine integration. Our short pulse drivers for nanosecond pulses, capable of delivering up to several hundred amperes, are especially popular.
PicoLAS' very compact and efficient drivers for diode lasers have achieved significant market prominence in several areas:
• Base plate-cooled cw drivers for fanless designs
• High-efficiency, digitally controlled cw and qcw drivers
• Short pulse drivers for seeding and rangefinding applications
PicoLAS is Europe's leading provider of high-speed seeding for fiber lasers.
The main markets include:
• Medical (hair removal, skin treatment, etc.)
• Material processing (engraving, marking, cutting, soldering, drilling, etc.)
• Driving ultra-short pulse lasers
• Military & law enforcement (including high safety standards such as SIL 3 and 4, or class E and higher)
The PicoLAS R&D team also develops customized drivers in close cooperation with customers.

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-CWM 300 - High Power cw- and qcw Driver
High power with small dimensions?
A mobile laser system, maybe even handheld?
No problem with the LDP-CWM-300. The CWM-300 is a high power cw- and qcw-driver, which is conductively cooled – long life and fanless.
You can mount a laser diode right on the aluminium cooling block and couple it thermically.
Optional you can replace the milled aluminium cooling block by a 3D-printed version by iq evolution, which gives you the possibility to use a water-cooling system for the driver and the diode.
The result: A kilowatt laser system in the size of your palm, which even can be supplied by battery packs.
PLM 1-20-24 Diode Driver / 1-10-24 TEC Controller
Miniaturized, powerful and flexibel.
These keywords really fit when describing the PLM 1-20-24.
The PLM 1-20-24 cw is suitable for driving laser diodes. The PLM 1-10-24 TEC is the version for controlling thermoelectric coolers (TEC).
Smaller than a matchbox you can solder it directly on your PCB and interface it using various common buses.
You don’t need any clips, plugs or screws. The only thing you need is an airflow above the surface.
Start right away: Use the evaluation kit for a quick start.
LDP-CW 20-50 Next Gen - Laser Diode Driver
Power and Precision in a Compact Form – The LDP-CW 20-50 Next Gen
The LDP-CW 20-50 NG combines a powerful 1 kW CW driver with an optionally integrated TEC controller – all within an ultra-compact half-brick form factor. This smart integration simplifies laser system design by eliminating the need for an external TEC controller.
