Why ERDI: What We Actually Provide
We make pulsed 1535 nm sources, and we help OEM teams get from a requirement to a specified part faster. Six claims follow, each with the evidence behind it and the limit of what it covers.
Performance — published per model, not per brochure
Energy, pulse width, repetition rate, divergence and mass are published for each of the sixteen models, with the guaranteed minimum marked as such. The parameter table puts them side by side. Every claim is conditional on the drive and temperature stated on the model page; we do not publish a range and imply every unit meets it.
Customisation — three things, not everything
What we change: mechanical housing, connector and electrical interface, and drive conditions within the model's envelope. What we do not change: the emission wavelength, which stays at 1535 nm. A custom request that needs a different band is a different programme, and we will say so at enquiry rather than after a purchase order.
Quality — documents with numbers on them
ISO 9001:2015 certified (certificate No. 02825Q11586R0S, valid to May 2028); CE declaration for the LRF rangefinder models under EMC Directive 2014/30/EU. Each unit ships with a test record tied to its serial number. What is measured and how is stated, including the instrument and the condition.
Size — the envelope is the specification
2.5 g and 14.5 mm at the microchip end, 220 g and 110 mm at the 10 mJ end. The dimensions table lists all sixteen, and the outline drawing carries the mounting features. If a payload cannot carry the mass, the honest answer is a smaller model with less energy — not a promise that the big one can be shrunk.
Delivery — evaluation first, then production
A single unit with its test record is available before a production order, because a data sheet cannot tell you how the source behaves in your optics. Lead time and terms are quoted per order, since both depend on the model and the quantity.
Cost — right-sizing, not the lowest price
Most systems are over-specified. Choosing the smallest model whose link budget closes saves mass, current and heat — and those are the three things that make an integration expensive later. If a cheaper alternative compromises the requirement, we will say that too.
What we are not
We are not a catalogue of everything optoelectronic. We do not sell complete rangefinders or designators, and we do not design your optics. What we do is supply the transmitter, document it properly, and answer engineering questions directly.
