AO40 UV (Preliminary data)
A 40 watt acousto-optically Q-switched, diode-pumped Nd:YAG DPSS laser system. Delivers high average powers at a wavelength of 355 nm, unpolarised. A rugged head design and a custom control system provides a platform that is ideally suited to industrial applications. A microprocessor architecture allows for serial interfaces, and simple synchronisation with OEM equipment and process lines. First pulse control can be provided across the performance range. The laser system has been designed for high-volume manufacturing environments. External facility requirements are limited to an electrical supply / coolant water and Purge gas (CDA or N2).
