- Due to continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice. Parameters marked typical are not specifications. They are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture. Unless stated otherwise, all specifications are measured at 1064 nm and for basic system without options.
- Outputs are not simultaneous.
- For PL2230 series laser with –SH, -SH/TH, -SH/FH or -SH/TH/FH option or –SH/TH/FH/FiH module.
- For PL2230 series laser with –TH, -SH/TH or -SH/TH/FH option or –SH/TH/FH/FiH module.
- For PL2230 series laser with -SH/FH or -SH/TH/FH option or –SH/TH/FH/FiH module.
- For PL2230 series laser with –SH/TH/FH/FiH module.
- Averaged from pulses, emitted during 30 sec time interval.
- FWHM. Inquire for optional pulse durations in 20 – 90 ps range. Pulse energy specifications may differ from indicated here.
- Measured over 1 hour period when ambient temperature variation is less than ±1 °C.
- Measured over 8 hours period after 20 min warm-up when ambient temperature variation is less than ± 2 °C.
- At 1064 nm.
- Peak-to-peak with respect to residual pulses.
- In near and far fields. Near field Gaussian fit is >80%.
- Average of X- and Y-plane full angle divergence values measured at the 1/e2 level at 1064 nm.
- Beam pointing stability is evaluated from fluctuations of beam centroid position in the far field.
- Beam diameter is measured at 1064 nm at the 1/e2 level.
- StdDev. With respect to TRIG1 OUT pulse. <10 ps jitter is provided optionally with PRETRIG feature.
- StdDev. With respect to SYNC IN pulse.
- TRIG1 OUT lead or delay can be adjusted with 0.25 ns steps in specified range.
- Air cooled. Adequate room air conditioning should be provided.
Note: Laser must be connected to the mains electricity all the time. If there will be no mains electricity for longer that 1 hour then laser (system) needs warm up for a few hours before switching on.
