Producing 1.5 W at a repetition rate of 70 kHz, high-speed MATRIX 355 UV laser enables precise control over pulse energy and timing; e.g., pulse rate can be held constant as repetition rate is varied. Price/performance of unit is specifically aimed at industrial processing. Pulse duraction is <30 nsec and energy stability is <5% rms. Maximum warm-up time from cold start is <20 min. All lasers in MATRIX family are RoHS compliant, carry 18 mo./10,000 hr warranty, and utilize company’s solder-bonded optics.
