The Explorer One 532-2 and 532-2Y actively Q-switched, diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers output more than 2 W of average power at green wavelengths. Applications for the lasers include micromachining and marking of metals and plastics, laser direct structuring (LDS) in PCB manufacturing, intra-glass marking, and thin-film scribing. Both lasers have short pulse widths (<15 ns) and low pulse energy noise (<3%) as well as a typical M² of 1.1 for ultra-stable processes and high production yield.SPIE Photonics West booth number: 1401To Learn More:Contact:Spectra-PhysicsHeadquarters: Santa Clara, CAProduct: Explorer One 532-2 and 532-2Y Q-switched DPSS lasersKey Features: Pulse widths <15 nsWhat Spectra-Physics says: View more information on the Explorer One 532-2 and 532-2Y Q-switched DPSS lasers.View More Products Locate a vendor or system integrator in our Buyer's Guide.Share new products that you think are particularly interesting or helpful by contacting Lee Dubay, Associate Editor, Laser Focus World.
