Applications
Laser micromachining as the material processing technology on small and very small scale is finding numerous real world applications. Together with the newest technologies diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers are moving from research laboratories to production lines.
PL10100 – a picosecond high power and high pulse energy laser – from the very beginning is designed to be a versatile tool for variety of industrial material processing applications.
PL10100 is an OEM rugged compact laser with 10 W output power at 1064 nm. It features high pulse energy (up to 200 µJ), high beam quality (M² < 1.5) and a very high repetition rate (up to 100 kHz) of typically 10 ps pulses. Optional harmonics are available at 532, 355 and 266 nm.
PL10100 consists of diode-pumped mode-locked Nd:YVO4 oscillator, pulse picker and diode-pumped regenerative amplifier. The optical part is placed in a robust, precisely machined monolithic aluminum alloy block that can be used as a separate module for extremely compact OEM-solutions. The system is sealed and its output parameters remain stable in wide range of environmental conditions over a long period. Designed for hands-free operation, the PL10100 offers a maximum of reliability due to optimized layout, PC-controlled operation, a built-in self-diagnostics and advanced status reporting. A superior beam quality allows to easily focus the laser beam into the smallest spot size at various working distances and to reach laser fluences sufficient for processing of virtually any material.
PL10100 has been designed as a low-maintenance-costs solution. All replacements of consumables can be done at user facilities by trained technicians.
