SNP High Performances IR Microchip Series

For generating high peak power IR pulses of a few hundred picoseconds, microchip lasers are economical, compact, and reliable. Sub-nanosecond 1064nm pulses are indeed directly generated from the diode pumped passively Q-switched Nd:YAG microchip engine. Microchips are also easy to operate and service ; controllers can be used with every laser head model and swapped within minutes while conserving constant performances. The SNP series are designed for high average power, either from pulse energies of 20 µJ at 1064nm, or from repetition rates up to 130 kHz.
