- Description
The PL2210 series is a family of diode-pumped, air-cooled, mode-locked Nd:YAG lasers that provide picosecond pulses at a kilohertz pulse repetition rate. With a pulse duration of <10 ps and a pulse energy of up to 20 μJ, these lasers offer excellent performance for a wide range of applications. The superior beam quality of the PL2210 series ensures precise and efficient laser output. Its short pulse duration and outstanding pulse-to-pulse stability guarantee reliable results. These lasers are well-suited for diverse tasks, including material processing, time-resolved spectroscopy, and optical parametric generator pumping. The flexibility of the PL2210 series is enhanced by optional items that extend its capabilities. The pulse picker option allows control of the pulse repetition rate, enabling operation in single-shot mode. The repetition rate and timing of pulses can be locked to an external RF source (with the -PLL option) or another ultrafast laser system (with the -FS option). The laser also provides a triggering pulse for synchronization of customer equipment, with a low jitter SYNC OUT pulse that can be adjusted in ~0.25 ns steps from a PC. Additionally, the PRETRIG feature offers up to 400 μs lead of triggering pulse for precise, low jitter trigger pulses required for streak cameras. The PL2210 series incorporates built-in harmonic generators, enabling motorized switching of wavelengths for the PL2210A model. Non-linear crystals mounted in temperature-stabilized heaters are utilized for second, third, and fourth high spectral purity harmonic generation. With its impressive specifications, versatile options, and reliable performance, the PL2210 series offers a comprehensive solution for applications that demand precise, stable, and high-quality picosecond laser pulses.
