Q1 is compact, energy-efficient, diode pumped,
air‑cooled, Q-switched laser designed for wide range of
applications that require high peak power pulses.
Laser can produce up to 45 mJ at 10 Hz pulse repetition
rate or up to 10 mJ at 50 Hz pulse repetition rate. Low
divergence of laser beam allows efficient conversion
to harmonic wavelengths using optional H1 series
harmonic generator module. The laser can configured to emit 1053 nm or 1064 nm wavelength from Nd:YLF or Nd:YAG laser crystals respectively. Due athermal properties of Nd:YLF crystal, at 1053 nm the laser can operate from single shot to
maximum pulse repetition rate without significant changes in beam divergence or profile. Innovative laser design resulted in user-friendly turnkey system that requires little maintenance. There is no chillers or bulky power supplies that one needs fit under the table. All laser electronics is integrated into Q1 housing and the only external modules are lightweight controller box that provides laser control interfaces and mains adapter that provides 12 VDC powering. Total weight of the laser is less than 5 kg. Laser is monitored and controlled trough Ethernet port via build-in web-server. Any computer or even cell phone with modern web-browser will be able to control Q1. API is provided for integration with user devices. Low jitter triggering pulses for user equipment are available with up to 300 μs lead in internal triggering mode. In external triggering mode, laser pulsing can be externally triggered from delay generator.
