nnnn

Spectra-Physics*

nnnn

A Newport Corporation Brand

nnnn

The Spectra-Physics Explorer® laser delivers reliability and versatility in a compact footprint

nnnn

through its innovative diode-pumped solid state architecture. The Explorer laser is easy to use

nnnn

and supplies excellent mode quality. Its nearly diffraction-limited TEM0Q output beam allows

nnnn

for tight focusing and high spatial resolution. High reliability, high repetition rate, Gaussian

nnnn

beam parameters and superior pulse-to-pulse stability make the Explorer laser the ultimate

nnnn

economic solution for demanding applications.

nnnn

The Explorer family uses three different types of gain medium. Nd:YLF is the active laser gain

nnnn

medium of choice for applications that rely on high pulse energy and high pulse peak power

nnnn

at low repetition rates. The Explorer 532-2Y uses Nd:YAG as active laser gain medium to

nnnn

generate very high pulse energy values in the range of 5-30 kHz. The Explorer Vanadate

nnnn

(Nd:YV04) models are used in applications that rely on high average power in high throughput

nnnn

applications.

nnnn

The Explorer's compact laser head and state-of-the-art power supply deliver exceptional

nnnn

versatility. Customers can interface with the Explorer L-Series power supply either through RS

nnnn

232 software interface or via analog TTL control signals. Advanced circuitry measures single

nnnn

pulse energies or average output power. This extensive pulse monitoring enables BURST-

nnnn

Mode and First-Pulse Suppression, allowing pulse bursts with constant energies. In addition

nnnn

the E-Pulse™ feature provides constant pulse energy while applying random external trigger

nnnn

pulses. Sophisticated software algorithms and supporting multiple software command sets

nnnn

ensure straight forward product integration. Finally, the Explorer system's rugged design

nnnn

enables integrating the compact laser head into a motion control system to simplify complex

nnnn

optical layouts.
