Starlase AO2
An acousto-optically switched, 200 Watt, diode pumped Nd:YAG DPSS laser system. High average powers are produced, at the fundamental frequency of operation, via a modular cavity design based around a standard gain module configuration. Versatile remote system operation, for machine control and integration, is enabled via the RS232 interface. Beam output stability and near service-free reliability is enhanced by a fully machined and sealed robust mounting platform and enclosure. External facility requirements are limited to an electrical supply; coolant water and purge gas (CDA or N2)
