Description

Q-SPARK is diode pumped, water-free, Q-switched laser designed for wide range of applications that require high peak power short pulses. Our innovative water-free laser crystal end-pumping technology allows to produce Gaussian-like, low divergence, high peak power laser beam in compact package.
Due to short laser cavity laser delivers up to 5 mJ at < 800 ps pulse duration or up to 10 mJ at < 1.5 ns pulse duration. Models with pulse repetition rates up to 100 Hz are available. Cost-effective version of the laser with passive Q-switch is available. It should be noted, that for passive Q-switched laser, the laser pulse jitter is larger in comparison to actively Q-Switched lasers (see datasheet for details). For active Q-Switch type, low jitter triggering pulses for user equipment are available with up to 300 Β΅s lead in internal triggering mode. In external triggering mode, laser pulsing can be precisely triggered from auxiliary delay generator. Laser is monitored and controlled trough Ethernet port via build-in  web-server. There is no need to install control software – any computer or even cell phone with modern web-browser will be able to control Q-SPARK. API is also provided for integration with user devices.
