Description
The Model 1101-XX-QCW-YYYY-TT-EXT is an advanced quantum cascade laser (QCL) system meticulously crafted for high duty cycle pulsed operation with a quasi-CW power output. This sophisticated system is tailored for bench-top applications, offering a seamless blend of precision and reliability. Enclosed within its robust design are pulse shaping and power conditioning electronics, alongside a hermetically sealed package that houses the QCL and essential optics for laser beam collimation. This ensures that the system remains stable and requires no field adjustments, maintaining its performance over extended periods in stable temperature environments.
This QCL system is engineered to deliver a fixed laser pulse width and a fixed pulse repetition frequency, which are preset at the factory according to user specifications. Additionally, it offers flexibility with an optional switch that allows selection between four different pulse widths ranging from 50 to 500 nanoseconds. This feature enhances its adaptability for various applications. Users can also benefit from the system's capability to operate with an internal trigger or a variable pulse repetition rate triggered by externally supplied TTL-level trigger pulses. A synchronization pulse is available in both modes, facilitating the integration of user electronics.
The Model 1101-XX-QCW-YYYY-TT-EXT stands out with its exceptional beam quality and nearly collimated output, achieved through an internal lens within the QCL package. The laser head is compact, measuring 8.6 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 2.5 inches in height, and weighs just 3.5 pounds, making it easy to incorporate into various setups. The system is powered by a 24 V DC external power supply, which is included with the product.
Designed for room temperature ambient operation, this QCL system exemplifies high reliability and performance, making it an ideal choice for demanding applications.
