Starlase AO4
An acousto-optically switched, 400 Watt diode pumped Nd:YAG DPSS laser system. High average powers are produced, at the fundamental frequency of operation, via modular cavity design based around a standard gain module configuration. The system is based on the industrially proven AO4 oscillator, amplified in a power oscillator, power amplifier configuration. Versatile remote system operation, for machine control and integration, is enabled via RS232. 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).
