GxJ laser line


The GxJ series comprises lasers based on a Nd:YLF oscillator and Phosphate Glass amplifiers. The lasers produce near-diffraction limited single-longitudinal mode super-gaussian radiation in the nanosecond regime from 2 to 16 J per pulse (fundamental harmonic) and from 1 J to 8 J per pulse (second harmonic). Design features include a highly stable passively Q-switched ring-cavity oscillator, 2-pass amplification using ultra-high energy threshold Brillouin phase conjugation mirror and optional frequency conversion to the second or third harmonics by DKDP. In addition to constituting highly versatile laboratory tools all GxJ lasers are rigorously designed to meet the high standards required for display and technical holography applications.
