The Empower® series is the next generation of high power pulsed green solid state lasers

nnnn

from Spectra-Physics. These Q-switched Nd:YLF lasers deliver an average output power of

nnnn

up to 45 W at 527 nm and pulse repetition rates from 1 kHz to 10 kHz. Ideal for pumping

nnnn

ThSapphire amplifiers such as the Spectra-Physics Spitfire® series, the Empower pulse

nnnn

energies are as high as 28 mJ

nnnn

Utilizing diode pumping, the Empower series features excellent output stability with pulse

nnnn

energy variations less than 0.5% rms. This is a critical advantage resulting in the best

nnnn

energy stability from a ThSapphire ultrafast amplifier. In addition, the Empower output beam

nnnn

guarantees optimum mode-matching with a Ti:Sapphire amplifier, resulting in high

nnnn

conversion efficiencies.

nnnn

The Empower series' highly integrated design benefits from Spectra-Physics' unmatched

nnnn

diode-pumped solid state laser experience and field-proven components. The ruggedized

nnnn

architecture results in superior overall reliability and lowest cost of ownership.

nnnn

Although the Empower has been specifically optimized for pumping ultrafast amplifiers, its

nnnn

high pulse energy makes it suitable for other applications, particularly in materials

nnnn

processing.

nnnn

Empower lasers operate from either 110 V or 230 VAC single-phase power and require no

nnnn

external cooling water. The compact laser head, with the smallest footprint available,

nnnn

together with the fully computer-controlled rack-mountable power supply, simplifies system

nnnn

ntegration and eliminates the need for special utilities.
