The Navigator Advantage
• Modular design can be configured to meet any
requirement
• High uptime
• Double the diode life
• Modular design easy to service in the field
• Lower cost of ownership
• Excellent pulse-to-pulse stability
• User friendly
The versatile Navigator™ family of
laser products has a unique modular design that
allows you to combine interchangeable harmonic modules with a variety of DPSS infrared
laser sources. This ensures quick configuration of the
laser to exactly match your process
requirements by specifying power, pulse width, wavelength, and repetition rate.
Whatever your requirements, there is a Navigator
laser that is a perfect fit.
Spectra-Physics® Navigator
lasers deliver excellent beam quality and high intensity pulses
over a wide range of operating conditions. Their end-pumped technology produces a
Gaussian beam profile that can be focused to very small spot sizes. Navigator models
come in both water- and air-cooled versions.
The Navigator
lasers’ reliable, field-proven design make it the ideal tool for many solar
and microelectronics applications. The Navigator offers easy serviceability with:
• Field replaceable ProLite® diodes which last up to double the industry average.
• Unique field replaceable fibers, eliminating the need to rebuild the
laser because
of a bad fiber.
• Unique field replaceable harmonic modules for 532 nm and 355 nm which ensure
fewer spares, lower cost of ownership, and shorter mean time to repair (MTTR).
There are Navigator models available with pulse widths as low as 8 ns. Short pulse widths
and high repetition rates enable processing materials at higher speeds with smaller heataffected
zones. Longer pulse Navigator models (up to 70 ns) are also available for
applications such as drilling or rapid material ablation.
Designed for industrial (OEM) applications, Navigator
lasers have a robust and compact
design that enables stable, reliable and hands-free operation in 24/7 industrial environments.
Navigator
lasers deliver excellent performance for many years.
