GQA/BxJ laser line

The GQA/B-xJ Series of Repetitive Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser

The GQA/B-xJ lasers are based on a Nd:YAG oscillator and Nd:YAG amplifiers. The lasers produce near-diffraction limited single-longitudinal mode radiation in the nanosecond regime from 0.2 to 2 Joules per pulse (fundamental harmonic) and from 0.1J to 1.2J (second harmonic). Design features include a highly stable electro-optically or passively Q-switched ring-cavity oscillator, 4-pass SBS phase conjugated amplifiers using beam apodization and optional frequency conversion to the second or third harmonics. The GQA range of lasers have quasi-gaussian beam distribution. The higher energy GQB lasers have top-hat distributions.
