The Spectra-Physics® Vanguard™ 355-2500 is a state-of-the-art DPSS laser specifically designed to produce exceptionally reliable quasi-CW UV output. This rugged OEM laser uses advanced mode-locking technology to deliver 2.5 W of picosecond pulses at 355 nm with low noise and excellent TEM00 mode quality. The Vanguard 355-2500 laser features high stability beam characteristics and low cost of ownership necessary for a variety of OEM applications. Designed for the stringent demands of semiconductor wafer processing, the Vanguard 355-2500 is also ideal for a wide range of micro-material processing applications. The Vanguard 2.5 W Advantage • Rugged industrial platform • Outstanding beam performance and power stability • Closed-loop power control • Near diffraction limited TEM00 output • RS 232 interface for system control and diagnostics • Hands off, motorized control via RS 232 to simplify preventative maintenance • On-board data log of all key functional parameters The Vanguard series of lasers are field proven with over 1,000 systems in tough 24/7 operations. Every feature on the Vanguard 355-2500 laser is designed for these conditions. The system can be remotely controlled via RS 232 interface, and incorporates extensive on-board data logging of key parameters. Closed-loop power control ensures consistent UV output power to less then 2% variation from specified level. Hands-off, motorized control of the THG crystal and Saturable Absorber Mirror (SAM) increases ease of use, and extends the Vanguard laser’s operational life. The diode module is a proprietary design for exceptionally long life, and is located remotely in the power supply, enabling easy replacement without laser head alignment. Newport and Spectra-Physics control the production of all key elements: SAM, optical substrates, coatings, power supply and fiber-coupled diodes. Each component has been designed in-house and tightly controlled through our supply chain. In addition, OEMs requiring high uptime and consistent performance over a long life have the assurance of the Spectra-Physics Vanguard 355-2500.
