Buying Cavity-dumped Lasers

Both continuous-wave and ultrafast lasers can be cavity-dumped to generate short nanosecond pulses or high-energy ultrashort pulses. This technique is useful for applications requiring high peak power and precise pulse control.

![]() Lasers, Optics, Electronics. Made in Germany. ALPHALAS GmbHBertha-von-Suttner-Str. 5 37085 Göttingen Germany | ![]() ALPHALAS offers diode-pumped mode-locked cavity-dumped picosecond lasers at 1030 nm, 1047 nm, 1053 nm and 1064 nm with optional second, third or fourth harmonic wavelengths. Typical parameters of these lasers are pulse durations < 15 ps and repetition rates from single shot to 10 kHz. For lower average and peak powers, these lasers are a good alternative to regeneratively amplified lasers due to simplicity, reliability and easy operation. On request, customized lasers for higher repetition rates or other wavelengths are available. This range of products includes also cavity-dumped Q-switched lasers that feature constant pulse widths and energies in a wide frequency range. |
