Navigator™ Lasers DIODE-PUMPED SOLID STATE LASERS Modular design can be configured to meet any 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 diodes which last up to double the industry average. • Unique field replaceable fibers, eliminating the need to rebuild the laser because • 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 heat- affected zones. Longer pulse Navigator models (up to 105 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. A Newport Corporation Brand
