ALPhANOV and Riscure are introducing new powerful single-mode diode laser modules with unparalleled precision. Balancing power and speed into a compact package: introducing the PDM2+HP.

Riscure has teamed up with ALPhANOV to add one more essential component to the Inspector fault injection setup to be ready for tomorrow’s technology, today. According to ALPhANOV’s Director, Benoît Appert-Collin,” this partnership will make ALPhANOV’s PDM laser technology reach new continents in the field of IC security evaluation and will increase ALPhANOV’s visibility worldwide”

Riscure has always developed security testing equipment to be efficient and cutting-edge for any security professional from novice to seasoned experts. After introducing the Diode Laser Station in 2009 Riscure released the Laser Station 2 with two high-power DPSS laser sources in 2015 to add a complete laser cutter replacement package.

Adding the ALPhANOV laser sources brings unmatched precision, to complete the selection of Riscure Inspector laser sources for expert users. The PDM2+HP features a single-mode beam to provide the smallest spot size in Riscure’s portfolio, up to 250MHz repetition rate (from 2ns pulse width), low jitter (<8ps) available in 980nm and 1064nm wavelengths. For Inspector fault injection users this product partnership means adding the ability to identify and understand the sensitive areas better and move to smaller technology sizes in fault injection testing in the future. The sources can be used together with our Diode Laser Station and the new Laser Station 2 or stand-alone with a fiber-optical coupling.

We are showcasing the PDM-2+HP at FDTC and CHES in Santa Barbara (US) on August 16 – 19, 2016. See you there!
