Check List for Q-switched Lasers

Click here to see a check list before buying such products!

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.
