Q2 series diode pumped, fully air-cooled, Q-switched
laser designed for wide range of applications that require
high peak power pulses. Our innovative water-free laser crystal end-pumping technology allows to produce Gaussian-like, low divergence laser beam. At the same time, Q2 is versatile platform that can be configured in many ways.
It can be configured for 80 mJ pulse energy at 10 Hz pulse repetition rate. For high repetition rate configuration laser can produce up to 20 mJ at 100 Hz. 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 changes in beam divergence or profile. In short cavity configuration pulse duration can be reduced by 50% in comparison to standard
configuration. Peak power of pulse can reach more than
30 MW at pulse energy up to 60 mJ. Thermo-electric cooler based temperature control system eliminate risks associated with water cooling (leaks, organic contamination etc.) and reduce maintenance costs. If requested, standard fan-cooled
heatsink can be detached from the laser body and laser
can be mounted on user-supplied cold plate or other
cooling system. Innovative laser design resulted in compact, 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 Q2
housing and the only external modules are lightweight
controller box that provides laser control interfaces and
mains adapter that provides 12 or 28 VDC, 30 – 100 W
powering (depending on model). Laser is controlled trough Ethernet port via build-in webserver. There is no need to install control software – any computer or even cell phone with modern web-browser will be able to control Q2. API is also 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.
