The FireFLY500-LS is the short-pulsed laser light source designed with Time Resolved and High Speed Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) imaging in mind.
The flexible controller has a PIV mode therefore negating the requirement for a synchronizer for the laser and camera combination. The laser can be triggered externally from a camera and will sync with monochrome high-speed cameras with ease. It also has an internal oscillator that will run up to the model’s maximum frequency to allow the laser to act as the master clock.
With its robust housing and IP 66 rating the laser can be situated close to the application. A fully waterproof version is available if you need to fully submerge the unit for underwater measurements.
The lightweight compact nature to the laser means it can be easily be mounted to the application setup and negate the requirement of articulated light arms.
