Customers of MegaWatt Lasers (MWL) have expressed interest in optical kits for the most common resonator setups. In response, MWL are happy to announce the release of a 1064-nm Nd:YAG Starter Optics Kit. These kits are designed with an R&D focus and are all tested in house. All optics are 0.5” x 0.25” (12.7 mm … Continue reading
Researchers from the Univ. of Alabama at Birmingham and MegaWatt Lasers presented a paper at the Photonics West Conference about flash lamp-pumped CTH:YAG master oscillator power amplifiers (MOPA). The title of the paper is “Electro-optically Q-switched 2.8 um Cr:Er:YSGG laser with output energy up to 300 mJ.” Here is the paper’s abstract: For some medical … Continue reading
A team of researchers demonstrated that langasite (LGS) enables efficient Q-switch operation of Cr:Er:YSGG lasers at 2.79 µm. The laser is flash lamp-pumped and electro-optically (EO) Q-switched. They report 300 mJ output energy at 15 ns pulse duration at a 3Hz repetition rate, which is, as far as the team knows, the record result documented … Continue reading
The ER902 µLaser from MegaWatt Lasers is a Q-switched, Diode Pumped Solid-State Laser (DPSSL) with Er:glass as the gain element. The laser generates pulses at a wavelength of 1.535 µm with 100 kW peak power and a pulse duration of 4 ns. Typical repetition rate is 10 Hz, but the laser may be operated at … Continue reading
MegaWatt Lasers (MWL) has provided flashlamp pump chambers and components for OEM Er:YAG lasers for over 20 years. Recently, MWL was asked to provide high energy 2.94 µm resonators with a relatively quasi-continuous wave (QCW) short pulse duration. They achieved 3 J at 10 Hz with an optical pulse duration of 100 µs. As a … Continue reading
