We offer the LBS-WE DPSS short pulse nanosecond (ns) and sub-ns pulsed laser for research (R&D) applications and laboratory use, but above all, given its connectivity, size and low power consumption, for industrial integration as an OEM.
LBS-WE HB and XB active q-switch models are currently available at 1064nm, 1570nm, 3100nm, 532nm, 355nm and 266nm; laser pulse energy reaches 4 mJ with 1.5 ns pulsewidth.
LBS-WE -HF and LBS-WE -XF models are available in a very compact unit, only 8x9x19 cm, both at 1064nm and 532nm.
Repetition rate can reach 100 kHz and pulses can be shorter than 500 ps.
A special feature of these nanosecond pulsed lasers, due to their special active q-switch, is the pulse energy equalization: models supporting repetition rates lower than nominal maintain the same pulse energy as at maximum frequency (not available in "Plus" models).
LBS-WE HF and XF Plus can reach higher power maintaining both the same pulsewidth and mechanical footprint!
Moreover also LBS-WE HF and XF are available at 355nm and at 266nm.
Based on proprietary fast active Q-Switching technology, these compact sealed and monolithic diode pumped lasers are insensitive to vibrations and harsh environments.
They have been designed for OEM applications like micro machining of hard and soft materials, specialty marking, OLED, glass and crystals engraving, LIDAR, LIBS, spectroscopy and medical diagnostics.
High output peak power, with relatively low energy and heat generation, allows efficient ablation and non-linear interaction with most materials. The compact and lightweight package represents a great benefit in LIDAR and other aerospace applications, while short pulses give extremely precise time-of-flight measurements.
