PowerPULSE

RBA PowerPULSE

rba_powerpulse_laser_moduleThe RBA PowerPULSETM series of DPSS gain module is ideally suited to high energy pulsed laser applications.  It is offered with pulse energies up to 400mJ and features CTE matched 'hard solder' laser diode packaging technology for long operating lifetimes.

The RBA PowerPULSE module is an ideal building block in the development or production of medium power rod laser systems, conversion of existing lamp-based laser designs to diode-pumping, or for the retrofit of existing flash lamp pumped technology to provide more stable and reliable operations.

The RBA PowerPULSE module incorporates a Nd:YAG laser rod that is side pumped by long life diode laser bars.  It delivers excellent gain uniformity and lensing performance.  Other solid state media (i.e. Nd:YLF) are offered upon request.
