ARCHITECTURE

The laser systems developed and offered by SOLAR LS can provide at the output a number of fixed wavelengths as well as tuneable radiation in different spectral ranges.

Combination of various laser and non-linear converters based on advanced active media and non-linear crystals allows us to realise laser systems providing continuous wavelength tuning within the range from 0.2 µm to 20 µm.

When designing a laser system meeting your specific requirements we, as a rule, build it using the following basic modules:

  • Nd:YAG lasers with harmonic generators;
  • Al2O3:Ti3+ (Ti:Sapphire) lasers with harmonic generators;
  • ВВО, КТР, КТА, AgGaSe2, ZGP-based OPOs with harmonic generators ;
  • ВВО, КТР, КТА-based sum frequency generators;
  • CdSe-based difference frequency generators.

Depending on the requirements to the laser system, as parts of the laser system can be used both our standard models and specially developed ones.

Wavelength tuning is performed either manually by micrometric screws or by actuators via PC.

For real-time control over the operating wavelength (including in the wavelength range of 3…20 µm) the laser system can be supplemented with an original compact laser wavelength meter.

In this section you can get acquainted with some of the laser systems developed by SOLAR LS under orders of our Customers. Feel free to contact us for more information about the systems we designed, their detailed specifications and applications.

Inform us of your requirements and we will offer you the best solution for your tasks within the shortest time.
