The QSL103A Picosecond Microchip Laser from Thorlabs Inc. is a passively Q-switched system producing 500-ps pulses centered at 1030 nm.
The μJ-level pulse energies produced at kHz-repetition rates will allow for multiple applications including material processing, harmonic generation, lidar, photoacoustic imaging, and laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. A fiber-coupled pump source within the head produces high beam quality for efficient micromachining applications. With a compact footprint measuring 3.00 × 5.37 in. and taps for 30-mm cage system compatibility, the laser can be conveniently integrated into an existing system and paired with any number of cage-mounted components including optics, motorized shutters, and galvo scanners.
The turnkey solution includes custom temperature control and laser drive electronics incorporated in a separate control unit for optimized stability and performance.
