- Due to continuous improvements all specifications are subject to change. Unless stated otherwise all specifications are measured at fundamental wavelength and maximum pulse repetition rate. The parameters marked typical are not specifications. They are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture.
- Factory-set pulse repetition rate is fixed at max repetition rate shown in the table. Smoothly variable pulse repetition rate is possible when laser is externally triggered. In internal triggering mode repetition rate can be divided by integer number down to f/2, f/3, f/4,.. 1 Hz.
- At FWHM level at fundamental wavelength, measured with 350 ps rise time photodiode.
- When pulse energy is presented in xx/yy format, first number is for 1064 nm wavelength version, second – for 1053 nm version. Pulse energies for harmonic wavelengths are maximum possible values available from H1 series harmonic generator module. See datasheets of H1 for details.
- Measured during 30 seconds operation after warm-up.
- Over 8 hour period after 20 minutes of warm-up when ambient temperature variation is less than ±2 °C.
- Full angle measured at the 4σ level.
- Peak to peak value, measured for 30 seconds of operation after laser warm-up.
- Beam diameter is measured 20 cm from laser output at the 4σ level.
- In respect to falling edge of pump diode triggering pulse.
- Motorized attenuator intended to be attached to the laser housing. Transmission can be changed remotely trough laser web-server control interface.
- Power adapter dimensions might differ from indicated here, depending on model.
- Q1 laser is compatible all models of stand-alone H1 harmonics generator. Please refer to harmonic generator datasheets for detailed specifications.
- Laser can be powered from appropriate 12 VDC power source. Please inquire for details.
Description
The Q1 laser is a compact, air-cooled, diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) Q-switched laser designed for a wide range of scientific and industrial applications that require high peak power and excellent beam quality.
This energy-efficient laser delivers up to 40 mJ per pulse at 10 Hz or 10 mJ at 50 Hz, offering exceptional performance in a small, lightweight housing (<5 kg).
Thanks to its low-divergence laser beam, the Q1 enables highly efficient harmonic generation when paired with the H1 series harmonic generator, supporting conversion up to the fifth harmonic.
The Q1 can be configured with Nd:YLF (1053 nm) or Nd:YAG (1064 nm) laser crystals. The Nd:YLF version provides outstanding thermal stability, allowing operation from single-shot to maximum repetition rates without noticeable changes in beam divergence or profile — ideal for applications that demand consistent pulse-to-pulse performance.
Innovative Design
The Q1’s integrated design eliminates the need for external chillers or bulky power supplies.
All laser electronics are built into a single, compact housing.
A lightweight controller box provides control interfaces, and a 12 VDC mains adapter powers the laser.
This streamlined, turnkey DPSS laser system is ready to use with minimal setup and virtually no maintenance requirements.
Smart Control and Connectivity
The Q1 laser can be monitored and controlled via Ethernet using a built-in web server.
Any computer—or even a smartphone with a modern web browser—can access and control laser settings.
For system integration, an API interface is provided for user-specific devices or automation setups.
In internal triggering mode, the Q1 offers low-jitter synchronization pulses with up to 300 µs lead.
In external triggering mode, laser firing can be synchronized precisely from a delay generator or external control system.
Key Features
- Compact and portable (<5 kg) design
- Diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) architecture for high efficiency
- Air-cooled and water-free operation
- E-O Q-switched for precise pulse control
- Nd:YLF (1053 nm) or Nd:YAG (1064 nm) configuration
- Up to 40 mJ pulse energy at 10 Hz
- Compatible with H1 harmonic generator (up to 5th harmonic)
- Ethernet control and API support
- Maintenance-free operation
Laser functionality can be further extended by wide selection of auxiliary equipment:
- Up to fifth harmonic generator’s output can be produced from our stand-alone H1 series harmonic generators.
- Lifetime of UV optics can be extended by stand-alone closed loop air-purging unit.
- Pulse energy can be adjusted with our motorized attenuator for fundamental wavelength beam.
- Pulse energy can be monitored by our attachable pulse energy monitor with analog and/or digital output.
- Fiber coupled output is available by request. Please inquire for detailed specifications.
