Request InfoCryLaS GmbHThe compact MOPA series of UV nanosecond solid-state lasers from Crystal Laser Systems GmbH feature wavelengths of 355, 266, and 213 nm. The laser systems are based on a diode-pumped, passively Q-switched YAG laser, which is followed by a diode-pumped optical amplifier. This MOPA principle enables higher pulse energies than those from unamplified systems. Different models with pulse energies up to 200 uJ, average powers up to 200 mW, and repetition frequencies up to 20 kHz are available. Due to the microchip design used, short pulse lengths in the range of 1 ns are achieved, which lead...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics Jan/Feb 2023 IssueSemiconductor Laser DiodeThe Metal Can PLT5 522FA_P-M12 from ams-OSRAM AG is an off-the-shelf semiconductor laser emitter with a 514-nm wavelength output required by many life science, R&D, and diagnostics applications....Photonics.com 2/28/2023Piezo Objective ScannerThe Nano Scan OP800 piezo objective scanner from Prior Scientific Inc. features a mechanical design and integral capacitive feedback for positioning accuracy.
