Spectra-Physics® 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 lab—all 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 goldcoated 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.
The Quanta-Ray Advantage
• Repetition rates from 1 to 100 Hz with energies in excess of
2.5 J per pulse
• Gold elliptical pump chambers for the best efficiency, mode
quality and longevity
• Sealed beam paths eliminating component degradation from
dust and contaminants
• High-quality, high-damage-threshold optics from SpectraPhysics’ dedicated in-house coating lab for lower costs of
ownership
• Single-rod and dual-rod oscillators for high powers and the
best mode quality in the industry
• Support by Newport’s global services with worldwide local
support
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.
