29 Oct 2009 1064 & 532nm Passively Q-Switched Nd:YAG lasers:
high irradiance, compact head (PNx-B series) When high peak power, ultrashort pulses are needed, and space for a laser is tight, the compact 1064 PNP-B or 532nm PNG-B PowerChip is the right fit.
The infrared version reaches peaks of 220kW with pulses of 400ps; frequency doubled, the green version reaches 80kW peaks with pulses of just 300ps.
The head, just 682cc and 2kg, is designed to fit in tight locations, while the controller can be placed remotely, where space and cooling may be more readily available.
The 1064nm PNP-B comes at 70µJ and 90µJ per pulse; the 532nm PNG-B is available with a typical pulse energy of 25µJ.
The standard repetition rate for all PNx-B lasers is 1kHz. The lasers can also be externally triggered, from 10Hz to 1kHz. In all cases, the PNx-B PowerChip provides excellent pulse to pulse stability. |
