Laser Module Usage Precautions

(Important – Buyers Must Read Before Use)

Operating laser modules involves potential optical and thermal hazards. To ensure safe and proper use, please read the following precautions carefully before powering on your laser product.

  • General Safety Warnings​

    • Invisible Radiation Warning– Some laser modules emit infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is invisible to the human eye. Never assume the laser is malfunctioning simply because you cannot see the beam. Always confirm that the power is disconnected before inspecting the module.
    • Do Not Look Directly into the Laser Aperture– Even when wearing certified laser safety goggles, never stare directly into or near the beam exit of a working laser module.
    • Avoid Reflected Beams from High-Power Lasers– Reflection from Class IV lasers (output power > 500 mW) can cause severe and permanent eye damage. Always wear wavelength-specific safety goggles when operating or aligning high-power laser systems.
    • Keep Away from Flammable Materials– Do not place flammable or explosive items (such as paper, cloth, leather, or plastics) in the laser path. Black or dark-colored materials absorb laser energy more easily and may ignite. (Exception: controlled material-burning experiments with proper fire protection.)
    • Avoid Direct Human Exposure– Class IIIa or higher lasers (≥ 5 mW) can burn skin or eyes. Never point a laser beam at any part of a person’s body.
    • Restrict Access to Trained Personnel Only – Keep all laser devices out of reach of untrained individuals, children, and pets.
  • Optical Path and Reflection Safety​

    • Never Aim Toward Glass Surfaces– Ordinary glass reflects roughly 4 % of incident light, which can redirect dangerous laser radiation into your eyes. Avoid operating lasers in front of mirrors or reflective windows.
    • Working Plane Awareness– When setting up an experimental platform, note the laser emission height. Do not position your head or eyes near this level during operation. Lenses and mirrors may reflect or refract light unexpectedly. Always align optical components downward or horizontally—never angle a beam upward.
    • Remove Reflective Accessories– Watches, jewelry, and other shiny objects can reflect laser light unpredictably. Remove them before use.
    • Infrared Beam Detection– IR lasers (wavelength > 800 nm) are almost completely invisible. Use a beam-viewing card, IR detector, or up-conversion screen to visualize the beam path safely.
    • Visual Brightness Misjudgment– Some wavelengths (below 430 nm or above 700 nm) appear much dimmer than their actual power output. Do not rely on visual brightness to judge beam intensity.
    • Pulsed Laser Caution– Pulsed lasers can have extremely high peak power even at modest average power levels. Verify that all optical elements and samples in your experiment exceed the laser’s damage threshold before exposure.
    • Prohibited Uses– It is strictly forbidden to point laser beams at moving vehicles, aircraft, or any area where light could distract or endanger others.
    • End-of-Beam Safety Stop– Always place a black anodized or matte metal plate at the end of your optical path to absorb residual energy and prevent laser leakage into surrounding areas.

    Low-Power Modules – ERDI laser modules rated below 1 mW are considered eye-safe under normal operating conditions and can be used without hazard when handled properly.

  • Recommended Protective Measures​

    • Protective Eyewear– Always wear certified laser safety goggles designed for the specific wavelength and power level of your module.
    • Appropriate Clothing– Light-colored or white long-sleeved clothing reduces the risk of heat absorption or ignition if stray laser light contacts the fabric.
    • UV Laser Protection– For ultraviolet lasers, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) to exposed skin areas to minimize UV radiation effects.
    • Environmental Safety– Operate lasers in a controlled laboratory or industrial environment with minimal reflective surfaces. Ensure that all personnel nearby are informed of ongoing laser use and have received proper training.

Laser rangefinder/designator module

Product Description

LDR20K1 20 mJ 1064 nm Laser Rangefinder / Target Designator for UAV EO/IR Gimbals

The LDR20K1 is a 20 mJ 1064 nm laser target designator module for UAV EO/IR gimbal integration, combining laser ranging and coded target designation in a single miniature unit. It is designed mainly for airborne platforms that need high reliability, low weight and long stand-off distance, providing both range data and coded laser energy to support laser-guided projectiles and stabilized day/night sights.

The module uses a diode-array pump source at 1.064 µm and delivers ≥ 20 mJ pulse energy with ≤ 0.6 mrad beam divergence, 10 ± 5 ns pulse width and laser optical-axis stability better than 0.05 mrad. In one designation cycle, once emission has stabilized for 2 s, pulse-to-pulse energy deviation is kept within ±10% of the mean, giving a clean and predictable spot for seekers and tracking algorithms.

In ranging mode, the LDR20K1 supports single-shot ranging and continuous operation at 1 Hz and 5 Hz. Continuous 1 Hz ranging can run for at least 5 minutes before a 1-minute rest, while 5 Hz ranging can run for at least 1 minute followed by a 1-minute rest. The minimum measuring distance is ≤ 300 m, the maximum range is ≥ 3,000 m, range accuracy is ±1 m, and the probability of correct ranging is ≥ 98%. First-target and last-target logic can be selected through the serial interface to adapt to cluttered or layered scenes.

In designation mode, the module operates with a fundamental frequency of 20 Hz and laser code accuracy of 2.5 µs. Short-cycle designation offers ≥ 20 s illumination with intervals ≤ 30 s for up to eight cycles; long-cycle designation provides ≥ 47 s illumination with intervals ≤ 30 s for two cycles. After finishing one continuous designation cycle, at least 30 minutes must elapse before restarting continuous designation, protecting the laser head and extending service life. Coding uses precise frequency codes with eight groups of pre-stored period codes, and the system can accept external synchronization signals to control emission timing and support user-defined code expansion to match different weapon systems.

Mechanically, the LDR20K1 is tailored to small gimbals and pods, with an external envelope ≤ 92 mm × 67 mm × 53 mm and a mass ≤ 290 g. Electrically, it runs from a 20–28 V DC supply, with average operating power consumption ≤ 55 W and peak power ≤ 100 W. All internal circuit boards receive conformal “three-proof” coating for resistance to moisture, dust and corrosion, improving long-term reliability on airborne and mobile platforms.

The electrical interface uses a MOLEX 53048-0810 connector (mating 51021-0800) with dual +24 V and dual GND pins plus RS-422 differential RX/TX pairs. An external trigger interface with differential TBI/TBG pins allows rising-edge triggering from the host system. Communication follows an asynchronous RS-422 standard at 115200 bps, with 8 data bits, 1 start bit, 1 stop bit and no parity; bytes are transmitted LSB-first and multi-byte data use low-byte-first order. The command set covers start/stop ranging, start/stop designation, gate setting, laser code modification and query, pulse-count query and self-test, while each pulse returns one set of range and status data for precise control and diagnostics.

For environmental robustness, the module is specified for operation from −40 °C to +55 °C and storage from −45 °C to +70 °C. It withstands swept-sine vibration from 15–33 Hz at 0.91 mm displacement and from 33–700 Hz at 2 g for one hour on each of three orthogonal axes, and it passes shock tests of ≥ 10 g on vertical, lateral and longitudinal axes using 11 ms post-peak sawtooth pulses, all with the unit powered on and required to operate normally afterward. These characteristics make the LDR20K1 a strong choice as the laser core for small UAV EO/IR gimbals, light vehicle sights and other compact fire-control payloads.
