High Energy Q-switched DPSS Nd:YAG Lasers
The NL230 series diode-pumped Q-switched lasers produce up to 150 mJ at 100 Hz or up to 190 mJ at 50 Hz pulse repetition rate. Diode pumping allows maintenance-free laser operation for an extended period of time (more than 3 years for an estimated eight working hours per day). The typical pump diode lifetime is more than 1 billion shots.
Lasers are designed to produce high-intensity, high-brightness pulses and are targeted for applications such as material ablation, remote sensing, OPO, Ti:Sapphire or dye laser pumping. Due to an electro‑optical Q-switch, the master oscillator generates short duration pulses in the 3–7 ns range. The oscillator cavity optical design features a variable‑reflectivity output coupler, giving a low-divergence laser beam.
A closed-loop chiller is used for laser cooling, eliminating the need for external cooling water and reducing
running costs.Angle-tuned non-linear crystals mounted in temperature stabilized heaters are used for optional second or third harmonic generation. The harmonic separation system is designed to ensure radiation with a high spectral purity and to direct it to
the separate output ports.
For customer convenience the laser can be controlled via a remote control pad or a USB interface. The remote pad allows easy control of all parameters and features a backlit display that is easy to read even through laser safety eyewear. Alternatively, the laser can be controlled from a personal computer via supplied Windows™ compatible software. LabVIEW™ drivers are also included with each laser installation package.

10) Beam pointing stability is evaluated as movement of the beam centroid in the focal plane of a focusing element.
11) Beam diameter is measured at 1064 nm at the 1/e² level.

Notes: The laser and auxiliary units must be settled in such a place void of dust and aerosols. It is advisable to operate the laser in air conditioned room, provided that the laser is placed at a distance from air conditioning outlets. The laser should be positioned on a solid worktable. Access from one side should
be ensured. Intensive sources of vibration should be avoided near the laboratory (ex. railway station or similar).
