Quanta-Ray

high-pulse energy Nd:YAG lasers are recognized world wide

for their unsurpassed performance, reliability and quality. They incorporate pioneering
technologies such as dual-rod oscillators, gold-coated elliptical pump chambers, internal
sealed beam paths, and high-damage-threshold optics from Spectra-Physics advanced
coatings laball combine to create the best beam quality and highest energies in the
industry.
The heart of the Quanta-Ray laser is its unique pump chamber. The chamber strikes the
perfect balance between efficiency and beam mode quality by employing elliptical gold-
coated reflectors to couple the lamps into the Nd:YAG rod. The gold surfaces provide high
reflectivity at pump wavelengths while attenuating UV wavelengths. Proprietary diffusion
techniques ensure uniform illumination of the Nd:YAG rod.
Quanta-Ray lasers are also the only lasers on the market to feature completely sealed internal
beam paths through the use of nitrogen-purged beam tubes. Sealed beam paths greatly
extend the longevity of optical coatings by shielding all optical components from harmful
contaminants in even the harshest of environments. Spectra-Physics uses only Sol-Gel coated
pockels cells. This coating greatly enhances the lifetime of the cells and improves the
performance of the laser system. BBO FHGs give highest energies, best beam quality and
highest damage thresholds. These features lead to the best bumper-to-bumper one-year
warranty on all optics, mechanics and electronics available from a pulsed YAG supplier.
Newly incorporated modern digital signal processing (DSP) electronics in all Quanta-Ray
Nd:YAG lasers provide a modern control system for the user. Direct digital interface and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) enables intuitive control of the system and simplified
integration with complex systems.

Pro Series
The Quanta-Ray

Pro series represents Spectra-Physics highest pulse energy Nd:YAG lasers. They incorporate the Lab series single or dual-rod
oscillators with two amplifier stages resulting in output energies up to 2.5 J per pulse. The patented intra-oscillator birefringence compensation design
in the Lab series is the key to producing the superior beam quality that allows the Pro series to achieve higher repetition rates and higher average
powers than any other high-power Nd:YAG laser on the market.
Options include BeamLok

for active beam pointing stabilization and D-Lok

. BeamLok enables the user to specify long-term pointing stability at less

than 25 rad over an 8 hour periodall through a PC. D-Lok suppresses the problem of increasing divergence with aging flash-lamps resulting in
guaranteed longer flash-lamp lifetimes and fewer downstream optical alignments. D-Lok also stabilizes any thermal imbalance in the Nd:YAG gain
medium eliminating fluctuations in output beam polarization. Its high polarization purity enables high-efficiency harmonic generation and stable
harmonic beam shapes.

Quanta-Ray Lab Series Specifications
The Quanta-Ray

Lab series represent the intermediate range of oscillator-only lasers with output energies up to 1 J at 1064 nm. The Lab laser stands
above its competitors because of its dual Nd:YAG rod and dual pump chamber oscillator configuration. This proprietary design provides intra-oscillator
compensation for thermally-induced birefringence in the Nd:YAG rod, greatly reducing beam depolarization. This results in higher repetition rates, higher
average powers and superior output beam quality than any other oscillator-only Nd:YAG laser on the market.

1. All specifications, unless otherwise stated, are for Q-switched 1064 nm operation and are subject to change without notice.
2. Harmonic energies are specified after separation using dichroic mirror pairs. It is also assumed that polarization of measured harmonic is in vertical polarization, making an "S" polarized
reflection from dichroics. 532 nm energies are specified using Type II SHG. 355 nm energies are specified using Type II doubler. Using a Type I doubler in tripling process will result in a
10% increase in published 355 nm specification EXCEPT for the following models: INDI, Lab-130-10, Lab-190-10, Pro-250-10, Pro-230-10.
3. High UV output option designed for OPO pumping, including injection seeder, harmonic generator, 355 nm dichroic separators, and beam dump.
4. The Lab-190-10 is configured on a Quanta-Ray Pro platform. This allows for BeamLok in this model. For laser head size, please refer to Quanta-Ray Pro specifications.
5. Normal full width half maximum (FWHM) pulse width 8-10 ns for all Lab series lasers except Lab 130-10 and Lab 190-10 versions, which is 9-12 ns. FWHM for Pro series lasers is 10-12 ns
except for Pro 270-10, Pro 290-10, and Pro 350-10 versions which is 8-10 ns. The optional short pulse mode reduces the 1064 nm pulse width to approximately 2.5 ns and reduces the
energy by approximately 10%. (Short pulse mode available on seeded versions on special request only).
6. Pulse-to-pulse stability for >99% of pulses, measured over a 1 hour period.
7. Over 8 hour period with temperature variations of <3C.
8. Near field spatial profiles measured <1 m from laser using commercially available beam diagnostic system. 70% refers to correlation between actual beam profile and least squares best
fit Gaussian profile. Far field profiles are measured at focal plane of a 2 m focal length lens and measured between FWHM points. Specifications based on 10 Hz lasers.
9. Enhanced spatial mode options can be tailored to meet your application needs. To obtain >85% Gaussian fits, energy can be reduced by 50%. Contact Spectra-Physics to establish
specifications.
10. Refers to maximum deviation from best fit Gaussian profile measured in near field (1 m) between FWHM points.
11. Actual beam diameter will vary depending on laser configuration.
12. Long term average pointing drift after warm up, over 8 hours -3C. Shot-to-shot pointing stability <25 rad. Angle measured is polar angle.
13. Full angle measured at FWHM points.
14. IR energy within 10% of specified value.
15. Insertion losses for systems using Model 6350 injection seeder are <15% at 1064 nm, 532 nm, and 266 nm.
16. RMS jitter from Q-switched sync pulse at 10 Hz. Jitter is 1 ns RMS when using Model 6350 injection seeder at 10 Hz and 1.5 ns at 30 Hz. INDI cannot be seeded.
17. INDI, Lab 130-10 and Lab 150-10 units are air cooled as standard. Water-cooled versions of INDI require WAT 50 (3.8 liters/min or 1 US gal/min). Water-cooled versions of Lab 130-10 and
Lab 150-10 require PS101 (3.8 liters/min or 1.0 US gal/min). All seeded lasers must be water cooled.
18. Minimum pressure 40 psi. Maximum pressure 60 psi.
19. Input transformer has taps at 190, 200, 210, 220, 230, 240, 250, and 260 V. Once tap is chosen, actual input voltage differing by more than 10% may affect operation of laser.
20. Measured on request.
21. Fit to flat-top central 80% of beam near field.
22. Max current draw of laser.
23. Addition of LBP option for pumping Scan Series OPOs can result in a 5% loss of 355 nm energy.
