29 Mar 2010 The success LASER COMPONENTS has had with its 2.94 µm diode-pumped DPSS laser module can best be described with a formidable “wow.” The MIR-Pac will go down as a milestone in DPSS laser history. It is a viable alternative to the expensive Er:YAG lasers used in dentistry and ophthalmology – and not just because of how small it is. The wavelength of this laser is 2.94 µm, which is the absorption line of water. This laser is, therefore, best suited for the ablation of hard tissue, for example on teeth.
The DPSS module boasts an output of up to 1 W – and that at dimensions of only 114 mm x 52 mm x 38 mm. Far ahead of the pack, this laser features an efficiency of 10%; comparable solid-state lasers achieve an efficiency of just 1%.
The appropriate driver is supplied along with the DPSS laser. This is a customer-friendly module that can be operated as a “plug & play” laser system! |
