Laser pulsé Nd:YAG Q-smart: introduction de l'option mono-mode longitudinal
L'option SLM ouvre l'accès aux applications allant de l'holographie au pompage d'oscillateurs paramétriques optiques (OPO) en passant par le LIDAR Doppler.

Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers, long a workhorse laser for many different scientific, industrial and medical applications, can have their optical specifications enhanced via the introduction of a seed pulse injected into the cavity. Quantel’s Q-smart SLM configuration results in a beam with reduced spectral linewidth (0.005 cm-1) and increased coherence length, properties critical for applications such as OPO and dye laser pumping, Doppler LIDAR and holography.
Quantel designed the SLM module to be easily integrated, requiring no factory installation if ordered with the Q-smart. And, unique to this design, on-site upgradability reduces laser down time as Quantel technicians can add the SLM option at a later date without the need to ship the laser back to the factory.
The Q-smart 850
and 450 with the SLM option will be showcased, for the first time, from
February 10-12 at the Photonics West conference in San Francisco, CA.
The Q-smart series is quickly becoming the laser of choice for scientific users
of pulsed Nd:YAG, due to the flexibility and versatility designed into the
platform. Boasting the highest lamp life
in the industry, exceeding 100 million shots, as well as the only automated
phase matching capability, the Q-smart offers unparalleled flexibility and ease
of use.
Ever since the release of the Q-Smart series last year, customers have asked us to expand its capability” said Emilie Colin, Product Line Manager for Scientific Lasers at Quantel. “The SLM option now offers customers ultra-narrow single longitudinal mode outputs and a smooth temporal profile. Our customers also appreciate the compact size and ease of integration of the module.”
“The Q-smart
series represents the industry’s first complete redesign of the pulsed YAG
laser in a number of years,” commented Greg Smolka, VP, Sales
& Marketing. “Our customers want to use lasers simply as
tools in their research rather than as complex instruments requiring frequent
adjustments and care. We continue that
philosophy with this latest expansion of the Q-smart line.”
