EKSPLA, developer of solid-state laser solutions, has launched a tunable wavelength laser system that features an OPO and a DPSS Q-switched laser in a single housing. The NT242 UV-VIS-IR laser solution with kHz repetition rate provides wavelength tuning ranging from 210 to 2600 nm.
The laser system has a maximum repetition rate of 1000 Hz that quickens data collection. An output power of 40 mW in the UV region and 500 mW in the visible region enables the laser to function in various applications such as LIDAR, remote sensing, photolysis, laser induced fluorescence, photobiology, and spectroscopy.
The device has a pulse duration of 5 to 10 ns and features a separate output for the 355 nm pump beam. Other outputs for the 266, 532, and 1064 nm can be availed on request.
The laser system does not need external cooling water and needs less maintenance because of its sturdy design and diode pumping feature. Its built-in OPO pump energy monitoring and practically no warm-up time assure reliable and customer-friendly operation of the entire device.
The NT242 laser system can be managed from a PC using the remote control pad or from LabView drivers. The control pad has a backlit graphical display that provides convenient readability through laser safety glasses.
