Photonics Industries announced that it has rolled out a new range of next-generation picosecond lasers.
Round and square holes cut in 0.5 mm thick Gorilla glass with Photonics Industries RG-H 532 high pulse energy picosecond laser
The RG series picosecond lasers generate over 7.5 mJ at 1064 nm with less than 25 ps nominal pulse widths. The lasers maintain less than 2% RMS pulse-to-pulse instability and TEM00 mode quality.
The RG series picosecond lasers are housed in a compact package and are suitable for industrial market. Lasers with higher power and harmonic output wavelengths such as 266, 355 and 532 nm are also available upon request.
The picosecond lasers have been utilized to conduct hole-drilling in Gorilla glass. Lasers’ high pulse energy enables the material to be punched instead of being trepanned. The RG lasers, apart from glass, can also be utilized for ceramics and metals.
High energy lasers will aid in developing various applications and higher pico pulses also allow longer and precise LIDAR distance measurements required for satellite laser ranging (SLR) solutions.
