Coherent Introduces New High Power DPSS Laser
New PRISMA Nd:YVO4 Laser Offers Highest Power Available
Santa Clara, Calif., December 12, 2007 - The latest addition to the Coherent, Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) PRISMA series of all-solid state infrared and green lasers offers the highest output power available to date. Specifically, the new PRISMA 1064-20-V is a q-switched, Nd:YVO4 laser that delivers 20 W at 1064 nm.. With 25% higher output power than previously available, this laser enables faster throughput or reduced processing times, while still lowering the cost per watt.
The new PRISMA 1064-20 offers the same superior reliability and performance characteristics as other PRISMA lasers. Specifically the new model shows excellent transverse mode quality (M²<1.3) and high pulse-to-pulse stability (<2% rms from 40-100 kHz), while enabling complete control over pulse-energy and timing. The laser uses field-proven AAATM-material pump diodes and is factory-sealed for high reliability, even when operating in harsh, industrial environments.
Together, all these features make the PRISMA 1064-20-V an ideal source for a variety of marking and materials processing applications. These include ID card marking and keypad marking, as well as solar-cell or mold form manufacturing.
