Buying Microchip Lasers

Microchip lasers are highly compact, alignment-free monolithic solid-state lasers. Many are Q-switched, producing short laser pulses ideal for applications such as laser range finding and LIDAR. Their small size and high reliability make them suitable for various precision tasks.
