Where to Buy YLF Lasers

The GxJ series is a family of four laser models, each of which is based on a Nd:YLF oscillator and one or more Nd:phosphate glass amplifiers. They produce near-diffraction limited single-longitudinal mode (SLM) Gaussian radiation in the nanosecond regime with pulse energies from 1 J to 16 J (fundamental harmonic). Design features include a highly stable EO or passively Q-switched, linear telescopic or ring-cavity oscillator, 2-pass amplification using high energy Brillouin phase conjugation (SBS), and optional frequency conversion to the second or third harmonics in DKDP. They are rigorously designed as highly versatile laboratory tools, meeting the high standards required for scientific interferometric or holography applications, where smooth beam shape and long coherence length is vital.
