Quantum Composers Announces New MicroJewel Ultra Compact Lasers

Date Announced: 22 Sep 2016

(Bozeman, MT) Quantum Composers, a leading manufacturer of lasers and systems, has launched a new ultra-compact, Nd:YAG MicroJewel laser. This new diode pumped, solid state line of lasers will be added to their growing collection that already features a robust high performance multi-wavelength Jewel as well as a Mid-IR option. The MicroJewel is the perfect solution for customers who have limited space and or limited power, with its ultra-compact design and minimal power consumption. At just 3 inches in length and weighing 40 grams it is designed to be integrated into systems requiring a small footprint, including the most compact handheld units. It will serve a variety of industrial and laboratory applications including laser radar, breakdown spectroscopy, particle image velocimetry and cube satellite systems. Due to its unique size and power requirements it can also be easily integrated for portable, handheld and mobile LIBS and LIDAR systems.     

 The MicroJewel came to life when customers were demanding a mono-block style, compact laser for portable applications. It was designed with "Military Grade" mounting for the resonator optics to make it a rugged and robust resonator. The MicroJewel is a passive Q-switched laser, weighs just under 40g, and is an end-pumped diode for efficiency with excellent thermal path for the diode and laser rod.  It was uniquely designed to have different optical configurations that can be optimized for different parameters (divergence vs. energy) depending on customer needs.

The MicroJewel will be the newest and smallest in the Quantum Composers line. They are currently available for pre-order with the first units expected to ship in October 2016. At just 3 inches long, its compact, inline resonator will reduce the space and weight limits on laser systems. It also features an integrated thermal management system designed for applications that require high reliability.

About Quantum Composers:
Quantum Composers was founded in 1993 in Bozeman, Montana, an already accelerating high tech center for electro-optic startups. Over the last 20 years, Quantum has become an internationally recognized pioneer in the photonics marketplace with the design and development of a precision pulse generator line and as a provider of custom laser systems for micro-machining applications.
