- 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.
- 2 200 mJ energy is achieved with Super-Gaussian spatial beam profile of 11th or higher order (with steep edges). If lower order Super-Gaussian is required maximum pulse energy will be limited to 2 000 mJ.
- 2 500 mJ output energy is available upon request with longer pulse duration.
- Harmonic outputs are optional. Specifications valid with respective harmonic module purchased. Outputs are not simultaneous.
- Second harmonic specification is valid when only SH option is ordered. If TH/FH options are orders second harmonic efficiency is reduced to ~50 %.
- Standard pulse duration is 90 ps. Other pulse durations can be ordered within range of 20 ps – 300 ps. Shortening the pulse duration below 90 ps will reduce the output energy proportionally.
- 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.
- 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).
- 1000:1 contrast available upon request.
- Optical pulse jitter with respect to electrical outputs:
– Trig out > 3.5 V @ 50 Ω
– Pre-Trig out > 1 V @ 50 Ω
– PLL option > 1 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.
- Required current rating can be calculated by dividing power rating by mains voltage. Power rating is given in apparent power (kVA) for systems with flash lamp power supplies and in real power (kW) for systems without flash lamp power supplies where reactive power is neglectable.
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.
