Request InfoCoherent Inc.Coherent Inc. has introduced the Verdi-V18 diode-pumped solid-state laser for high-power CW materials processing, for pumping mode-locked and CW Ti:sapphire and dye lasers, and for annealing processes, holography and scientific applications. The TEM00 green laser delivers >18 W of 532-nm output, and its single-frequency design produces optical noise of <0.04% rms, measured from 10 Hz to 1 GHz. The device is pumped by field-replaceable, aluminum-free active-area diode laser modules, and a closed-loop feedback system controls their precise emitted wavelength for long diode life.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra February 2024 IssueTunable Dye LasersThe new product range of tunable dye and Ti:sapphire lasers from Opton Laser International in collaboration with Sirah Lasertechnik covers nano-seconds pulsed dye lasers, narrow-linewidth ring dye...BioPhotonics Mar/Apr 2024 IssueRed Microscopy LaserThe OBIS 640 XT from Coherent Corp. is a red diode-pumped solid-state laser module for super-resolution microscopy.
