- Due to continuous improvement, all specifications are subject to change without notice. The parameters marked ‘typical’ are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture. Presented parameters can be customized to meet customer‘s requirements. All parameters measured at 1064 nm if not stated otherwise.
- Harmonic outputs are optional. Specifications valid with respective harmonic module purchased. Outputs are not simultaneous.
- Second harmonic is available with LBO crystal then the conversion efficiency is increased to 70%. If TH/FH options are orders second harmonic efficiency is reduced to ~50%.
- Standard pulse duration is 5 ns. Other pulse durations can be ordered within range of 10 – 20 s. Output energy might differ depending on duration.
- Under stable environmental conditions, normalized to average pulse energy (RMS, averaged from 60 s).
- Measured over 8 hours period after 30 min warm-up when ambient temperature variation is less than ±2 °C.
- Super-Gaussian spatial mode of 6-11th order in near field.
- M2 value of ~5 is standard. Versions with M2 in the range of 20 – 90 can be ordered.
- Beam diameter is measured at signal output at 1/e2 level for Gaussian beams and FWHM level for Super-Gaussian beams.
- Beam pointing stability is evaluated as movement of the beam centroid in the focal plane of a focusing element (RMS, averaged from 60 s).
- Optical pulse jitter with respect to electrical outputs: Trig out > 3.5 V @ 50 Ω.
- System sizes are preliminary and depend on customer lab layout and additional options purchased.
- Longer umbilical with up to 10 m available upon request.
- The laser and auxiliary units must be settled in such a place void of dust and aerosols. It is advisable to operate the laser in air conditioned room, provided that the laser is placed at a distance from air conditioning outlets. The laser should be positioned on a solid worktable. Access from one side should be ensured.
- Voltage fluctuations allowed are +10 % / -15 % from nominal value.
- Power consumption and water supply requirements deviate depending on system configuration.
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.
