With pulse durations down to 500 ps and repetition rates up to 200 kHz, this laser series produces a high average power of up to 50 W @ 532 nm and up to 100 W @ 1064 nm. Choose from many options including beam expanding & collimating options, low jitter options, air- or water-cooling, an industrial or up to IP68 protected package, and more options, depending on your requirements.

Wedge Series

The Wedge series of DPSS lasers is a rugged industrial solution, designed for seamless integration into OEM micromachining, LIDAR, and LIBS end-user systems. Based on proprietary fast Q-switching technology, this series is compact, sealed, and monolithic, making them insensitive to vibrations & harsh environments. High peak powers, relatively low energy, and low heat generation allow efficient ablation and non-linear interaction. Available from 266 nm to ≈ 3 µm, up to 4 mJ pulse energy @ 1064, and up to 4 MW peak power, the lightweight, air-cooled package benefits LIDAR and aerospace applications, while short pulses provide exact time-of-flight measurements. Many optional add-ons and customization options.
