Where to Buy Ultraviolet Lasers

Sub-nanosecond passively Q-switched microchip lasers are available with emission wavelengths of 355 nm and 266 nm.

For higher peak powers, we offer the 266 nm PNU-M01210-1x0 lasers, part of the Powerchip series, also available with various wavelengths including 355 nm, 266 nm and 213 nm. Peak powers of tens of kilowatts (or even 160 kW at 1064 nm) are generated, while the pulse durations are always well below a nanosecond. These lasers use a specific long life process to extend lifetime between refurbishments.

Most of the pulsed lasers offered by ALPHALAS are optionally available with harmonics in the UV range:

• third harmonic (315, 343, 349, 351, 355 nm)
• fourth harmonic (236, 257, 262, 263, 266 nm)

with pulse durations from picoseconds (PICOPOWER series) to sub-nanoseconds and nanosecond (PULSELAS-A/P series). While the passively Q-switched sub-nanosecond microchip UV lasers are the best alternative for low-cost and maintenance-free operation, the harmonically tripled and quadrupled regeneratively amplified picosecond lasers offer very high peak powers for material processing and nonlinear optical applications.

Many applications benefit from central wavelengths in the VIS or UV range. AFS offers fully integrated frequency conversion modules from 1030 nm to 515 nm, 343 nm or even 258 nm. The conversion efficiency depends on the pulse duration of the driving laser. We offer fourth-harmonic generation upon request.

The CARBIDE 50 W UV laser is based on the market-proven industrial-grade CARBIDE laser platform. It emits 500 fs pulses at a 343 nm wavelength and fits into a footprint of 84 × 35 cm, making it the most compact 50 W UV femtosecond laser currently available on the market. The CARBIDE ensures long-term performance without the need for user intervention. Its high power allows for beam splitting into multiple parts, enabling parallel micromachining processes and subsequently increasing throughput. The CARBIDE platform ensures simple integration into industrial 24/7 workstations.
