Where we compete
Three reasons a European or American OEM switches to LumeLiDAR
Pin-to-pin, not "equivalent"
Our PLD905-75W-P is the same package and the same pinout as the ams OSRAM SPLPL90_3. No board redesign, no re-qualification of the mechanical interface — drop it in and re-run your ranging test.
Source, receiver and driver in one quote
The emitter is rarely the expensive line on your BOM — the receive path and the drive electronics usually are. We quote the 905 nm diode, the APD and the pulse driver together, as one line item.
Field-proven in Europe already
Our 905 nm plastic two-pin emitter has been shipping into a Dutch in-vehicle laser detection system in repeated production quantities — with a de-sensitised certificate of conformance available for evaluation.
Product families
Twelve families. One supply chain.
From a two-cent plastic TO can to a 1 mJ erbium-glass laser with its matched driver board — the whole optical chain of an instrument, from one vendor.
1535 nm Erbium-Glass Lasers
LZ1535 series · 10 µJ to 1 mJ
Passively Q-switched erbium-glass microchip lasers in a rugged, hermetically sealed package.

Gas Sensing · TDLAS Sources & Detectors
DFB / VCSEL 760 – 1742 nm + matched photodetectors
A complete optical core for tunable-diode laser absorption spectroscopy: a DFB or VCSEL source on the exact absorption line of the target gas, a spectrally matched photodetector, and a turnkey methane sensor module for customers who would rather buy the finished optical assembly than build one..

Applications
Who buys from us, and why
Our buyers are not the LiDAR brand names. They are the sensor manufacturers, the rangefinder ODMs, the instrument houses and the EO module builders who actually put a laser diode on a board.
LiDAR & 3D Sensing
Pulsed 905 nm edge emitters and 850/940 nm VCSEL arrays for time-of-flight, dToF and structured-light modules.
LiDAR module houses, AGV/AMR navigation makers, robot vacuum ODMs
Laser Rangefinders & Hunting Optics
The highest-volume 905 nm socket in the world. Plastic and metal TO56 emitters that are pin-compatible with the OSRAM SPLPL90 family.
Rangefinder brands, golf/survey optics brands, hunting optic OEMs and their ODM partners
Industrial Photoelectric Sensors
Photoelectric distance sensors, light curtains and safety scanners consume 905 nm pulsed diodes by the million. Standard parts, long qualification, ten-year repeat business.
Sensor manufacturers in Germany, Japan, Switzerland, Italy and the United States
Surveying, Mapping & Airborne LiDAR
High-power multi-stripe emitters up to 600 W and low-temperature-drift parts for long-range terrestrial and airborne scanners.
Terrestrial scanner makers, airborne mapping integrators, UAV LiDAR payload builders
Traffic Enforcement & Perimeter Security
Laser speed guns, traffic scanners and perimeter intrusion detection — low customer count, high concentration per order.
Traffic enforcement OEMs, police equipment suppliers, perimeter security vendors
Defense & Aerospace EO
Eye-safe 1550 nm pulsed diodes, 1535 nm erbium-glass sources and high-gain APDs for laser designation, rangefinding and EO payloads.
EO module houses, mid-size optics primes, second- and third-tier defense suppliers
Cross-reference
The replacement guide
Search by the part you already use — ROHM RLD90QZW3, ams OSRAM SPLPL90_3, SPLUL90AT08, Hamamatsu APDs, Coherent erbium glass. We will tell you whether the swap is pin-to-pin or functional, and what changes on your board.
Quality
Tested before it ships, not after it fails
Every device is measured at 25 °C for peak wavelength and output power, visually inspected under high magnification, and — for the high-reliability lines — burned in across the full operating temperature range. Units ship with the per-lot test record and a certificate of conformance.
- Wavelength and power verification recorded per unit
- Programmable high / low temperature burn-in chambers
- Fibre end-face interferometry on every connectorised assembly
- Per-unit breakdown voltage recorded for APDs
- RoHS / REACH declarations and laser class reports on request
