Where to Buy Nanosecond Lasers
Most nanosecond lasers are Q-switched solid-state bulk or fiber lasers, but there are also nanosecond pulse sources based on gain-switched laser diodes and fiber amplifiers. Lasers with sufficiently high pulse energies are used in laser material processing, for example.

Check List for Nanosecond Lasers
As nanosecond lasers are in most (although not all) cases Q-switched lasers, we use the same check list as for these:
- What is the pulse duration, pulse energy and peak power? For what pulse repetition rate do these ratings apply? (Caution: rated pulse parameters often apply only for low pulse repetition rates! For high repetition rates, pulse energies usually drop, and the pulses get longer.)
- What is the maximum average output power? (This is often achieved only for high pulse repetition rates.)
- Do you require a particularly narrow emission bandwidth? Do you need single-frequency operation, which implies that the power vs. time does not exhibit any oscillations?
- What beam quality is required (M2 factor or beam parameter product)?
- How sensitive is the laser to back-reflections? Do you need a Faraday isolator at the output?
- Is a high power efficiency (wall-plug efficiency) important?
In case that you need additional advice, consultancy from RP Photonics may be the solution.
78 suppliers for nanosecond lasers are listed in the RP Photonics Buyer's Guide. Both manufacturers and distributors can be registered.

 Savanoriu Av. 237 02300 Vilnius Lithuania |  High pulse energy DPSS and lamp-pumped nanosecond Q-switched lasers for researchers and OEM manufacturers. See us at Photonics West 2020 in San Francisco, Feb. 1–6 (booth 748)! |
 Blokken 84 3460 Birkerød Denmark Quality: ISO 9000:2015 www.nktphotonics.com Social: Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube Tel.: +45 4348 39 00 Fax: +45 4348 39 01 |  If you need a versatile, sub-nanosecond pulsed laser system designed for all industrial applications, the KATANA laser is an excellent choice. If you need high power, choose the KATANA HP. In the standard configuration, the KATANA HP provides pulses of 35 or 700 ps duration, depending on the model. The standard pulse repetition rate is either 100 kHz to 1 MHz or 20 to 80 MHz. The laser pulse can be triggered from an external source (in either master or slave mode). Continuous tuning of the repetition rate is standard. No alignment is required making this laser maintenance-free and ensures you a low cost of ownership. See us at Photonics West 2020 in San Francisco, Feb. 1–6 (booth 3201)! |
