The Tristar Advantage
• Short pulse width and high peak power for minimized thermal
damage to parts during processing
• Easy field serviceability increases uptime by shortening
MTTR
• Motorized THG crystal shifter for stable power and long life
• Long life ProLite® diodes reduce cost of ownership
• Automatic Laser Purification System™ (ALPS) actively cleans
the laser cavity to greatly extend laser life
• Automatic data logging means cradle to grave product and
process traceability
• Air-cooled operation does not require a chiller
A P P L I C A T I O N S
• LED scribing
• Memory repair
• Rapid prototyping
• Stereolithography
• Precision marking
The Spectra-Physics® Tristar™ provides a state-of-the-art light source for an impressive
combination of power and flexible repetition rates. The Tristar incorporates reliable
technologies from field-proven Spectra-Physics diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers and
is designed to produce >3 W of power at 50 kHz repetition rate. It is an excellent choice for
demanding applications where highly focused spots, precision positioning, and the highest
possible throughput are necessary.
With a pulse width <25 ns at 90 kHz, the Tristar laser generates the high-intensity peak
power necessary for next-generation scribing applications. The high peak power also
provides the best quality materials processing and increased throughput.
The Tristar laser offers:
• Compact, easy to integrate design.
• Short pulse durations for smaller heat affected zones.
• High peak power reduces recast material, lowers kerf heights and results in cleaner
scribe lines and more consistent material processing.
• Lower cost of ownership.
• Longer life ProLite® diode pump modules for higher reliability.
• EternAlign™ optical mount technology for perfect alignment over the lifetime of the
laser.
• Automatic crystal shifter extends lifetime and lowers the cost of ownership over the life
of the laser.
• Unique Active Laser Purification System™ keeps the cavity clean and dry to significantly
extend laser life.
