‘Industry Standard’Acousto-Optic Q-Switch
A ‘Stallion’ version of our industry standard water-cooled Acousto-Optic Q-Switch, for use in high power lamp or diode pumped Nd:YAG lasers.
The patented ‘Stallion’ manufacturing technique provides superior corrosion resistance whilst maintaining optimum performance and RF power handling capabilities up to 100W (for shear mode options).
Combining top grade fused silica with high quality optical finishing and in-house anti-reflection coatings, this Q-Switch exhibits very low insertion loss and high damage threshold.
In addition to the standard product shown, custom configurations are available for specialised applications. These include alternative housing options, wavelengths and RF frequencies. This product is also available in Crystal Quartz.
Our engineers are available to assist in selecting the most appropriate model of Q-Switch and also RF driver for your application.
