Uniquely compact 100-mJ-level, pulsed Nd:YAG laser head with integrated control electronics and laser diode current driver. Generates laser pulse energies up to >100 mJ, pulse durations of <~8 ns and pulse repetition rates up to 100 Hz
This particularly small laser head is suited for space-constrained and handheld or portable applications (total weight <2 kg). The laser can be integrated in the user’s setup and just needs to be mounted onto a sub-mount capable of taking the head away during operation. The user simply provides an external 24-28 VDC power supply and a pulse trigger (TTL).
Inquire about higher pulse energies, higher repetition rates, harmonics, burst mode, extended temperature ranges and environmental conditions.
Benefits: In contrast to existing flash-lamp-pumped Nd:YAG technologies, this laser is laser-diode-pumped and the conductively cooled laser diode stack is included in the laser head. Not only the compactness but also lower electrical power consumption, lower weight, maintenance-free operation and improved beam quality, divergence and focussability are achieved and result in improved application results.
Applications: The compactness and low weight enable applications that were not possible with existing flash-lamp pumped technologies, including handheld applications and other applications with critical space and/or weight constraints. Applications of these compact laser sources include – besides scientific applications – laser analytics, LIBS (Laser-induced break-down spectroscopy), optical component damage testing, PIV (Particle image velocimetry), LIDAR (Light detection and ranging), etc.
