Based on the proven Hawk laser series
from Quantronix, the Hawk-Duo is a dual
oscillator/single head, high repetition rate,
diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser. The Hawk-Duo
offers ultimate flexibility for PIV and other
dual output applications.
The combination of two oscillators allows
complete control of pulse separation and
pulse energy. Both oscillators in the HawkDuo are identical in optical design giving
temporally and spatially matched pulses for
the highest degree of cross-correlation. Each
oscillator can be independently triggered
via TTL inputs. As an option, a compact,
external combination box can be directly
attached to the laser to make access to the
beam combination optics easier and safer for
the rest of the laser system.
The Hawk-Duo uses our patented intracavity frequency doubling to achieve high
energy 532 nm outputs without resorting
to tight focusing (which can result in optical
damage) necessary for extra-cavity doubling.
Our patented pumping chamber design increases the overall efficiency allowing for
high pulse energy, excellent beam quality
and long component lifetimes from a compact diode-pumped package.
