Quanta-Ray Pro Series Pulsed Nd:YAG Lasers - 1

Quanta-Ray Nd:YAG Laser Family ® U N S U R P A S S E D P E R F O R M A N C E , R E L I A B I L I T Y, A N D Q U A L I T Y Spectra-Physics® Quanta-Ray® high-pulse energy Nd:YAG lasers are recognized world wide for their unsurpassed performance, reliability and quality. They incorporate pioneering technologies such as dual-rod oscillators, gold-coated elliptical pump chambers, internal sealed beam paths, and high-damage-threshold optics from Spectra-Physics’ advanced coatings lab—all combine to create the best beam quality and highest energies in the industry. The heart of the Quanta-Ray laser is its unique pump chamber. The chamber strikes the perfect balance between efficiency and beam mode quality by employing elliptical goldcoated reflectors to couple the lamps into the Nd:YAG rod. The gold surfaces provide high reflectivity at pump wavelengths while attenuating UV wavelengths. Proprietary diffusion techniques ensure uniform illumination of the Nd:YAG rod. The Quanta-Ray Advantage • Repetition rates from 1 to 100 Hz with energies in excess of 2.5 J per pulse • Gold elliptical pump chambers for the best efficiency, mode quality and longevity • Sealed beam paths eliminating component degradation from dust and contaminants • High-quality, high-damage-threshold optics from SpectraPhysics’ dedicated in-house coating lab for lower costs of ownership • Single-rod and dual-rod oscillators for high powers and the best mode quality in the industry • Support by Newport’s global services with worldwide local support Quanta-Ray lasers are also the only lasers on the market to feature completely sealed internal beam paths through the use of nitrogen-purged beam tubes. Sealed beam paths greatly extend the longevity of optical coatings by shielding all optical components from harmful contaminants in even the harshest of environments. Spectra-Physics uses only Sol-Gel coated pockels cells. This coating greatly enhances the lifetime of the cells and improves the performance of the laser system. BBO FHGs give highest energies, best beam quality and highest damage thresholds. These features lead to the best “bumper-to-bumper” one-year warranty on all optics, mechanics and electronics available from a pulsed YAG supplier. Newly incorporated modern digital signal processing (DSP) electronics in all Quanta-Ray Nd:YAG lasers provide a modern control system for the user. Direct digital interface and Graphical User Interface (GUI) enables intuitive control of the system and simplified integration with complex systems.

Quanta-Ray Pro Series Pulsed Nd:YAG Lasers - 2

The Quanta-Ray® Pro series represents Spectra-Physics' highest pulse energy Nd:YAG lasers. They incorporate the Lab series single or dual-rod oscillators with two amplifier stages resulting in output energies up to 2.5 J per pulse. The patented intra-oscillator birefringence compensation design in the Lab series is the key to producing the superior beam quality that allows the Pro series to achieve higher repetition rates and higher average powers than any other high-power Nd:YAG laser on the market. Options include BeamLok® for active beam pointing stabilization and D-Lok®. BeamLok enables...

Quanta-Ray Pro Series Pulsed Nd:YAG Lasers - 3

The Quanta-Ray® Lab series represent the intermediate range of oscillator-only lasers with output energies up to 1 J at 1064 nm. The Lab laser stands above its competitors because of its dual Nd:YAG rod and dual pump chamber oscillator configuration. This proprietary design provides intra-oscillator compensation for thermally-induced birefringence in the Nd:YAG rod, greatly reducing beam depolarization. This results in higher repetition rates, higher average powers and superior output beam quality than any other oscillator-only Nd:YAG laser on the market. Quanta-Ray Lab Series...
