Description
The Laser System Model 1101-46-HP-XXXX is an advanced pulsed high-power quantum cascade laser system designed for optimal performance in various demanding environments. This comprehensive system includes a laser head paired with a matched power supply, ensuring seamless integration and operation at the customer's location. The standard configuration features a hermetically sealed package, which houses the quantum cascade laser and its collimating optics, making it resilient to harsh physical conditions. The laser emits mid-wave infrared (MWIR) radiation in a nearly collimated beam with a diameter of approximately 4 mm, offering precision and reliability.
For users requiring extended range, the system can be equipped with an optional external bayonet mount infrared beam expanding lens. This accessory allows for the projection of the MWIR beam over kilometer distances, enhancing its versatility for specialized applications. The bayonet mount is compatible with various lenses, providing customization options to meet specific customer needs. The laser system supports output pulses with fixed durations ranging from 50 ns to 500 ns, and frequencies from single pulses up to 1 MHz, featuring exceptionally fast pulse rise and fall times of less than 5 ns.
The Model 1101-46-HP-XXXX is available in three versions, each offering different levels of peak pulse power output: 1.0 W, 2.0 W, and 4.0 W, all at room temperature. This flexibility allows users to select the ideal model for their power requirements. The laser operates in pulsed mode with a wavelength centered around 4.6 µm, and other wavelengths up to 12 µm are available upon request. The system's nearly diffraction-limited output beam quality, coupled with its robust design, ensures consistent performance and reliability, with a measured lifetime exceeding 3,000 hours without power degradation.
The laser head's compact physical dimensions—13 cm in width, 17 cm in height, and 15 cm in depth—along with a weight of 1.9 kg, make it a practical choice for various installations, excluding the optional lens. The accompanying power supply is engineered to provide the necessary drive current, ensuring the laser operates efficiently and effectively. With its advanced features and adaptability, the Laser System Model 1101-46-HP-XXXX represents a cutting-edge solution for high-power laser applications.
