Picosecond, high peak power UV microchip lasers Aug 7, 2009

For generating high peak power ultraviolet pulses of a few hundred picoseconds, microchip lasers are economical, compact, and reliable. Microjoule UV pulses are generated from the harmonic conversion of the emissions from a passively Q-switched Nd :YAG microchip engine. Lasers are available at 355nm (SxV series) and 266nm (SxU series). The SNV and SNU series are designed for high average power, either from pulse energies as high as 2µJ or from free running repetition rates up to 40kHz; the SFV and SFU series allow users to select up to three fixed frequencies, set at the factory, from 10Hz to 4kHz; the STV and STU series enable the user to trigger the laser on demand, varying the period from 100ms to 500µs, pulse to pulse.

Ultrashort pulses
As low as 300ps durations

High peak power
Exceeding 6kW per pulse

Variety of frequency options
Free running to 40kHz
Fixed frequency to 4kHz
Triggerable to 2kHz

Excellent beam quality
Gaussian, TEM00, M²≤1.3 (355nm and horizontal 266nm)

Efficient, air cooled
Typically dissipates <10W from laser head and consumes <20W

Long UV life
High reliability pump diode, specialty UV optics, and sealed package contribute to lifetimes expected to exceed 5k hours (consult factory for details)
