Guaranteed Specifications
We have developed innovative solutions to guarantee and maintain laser performance throughout different ambient conditions.
- Turn-key, maintenance free:
Our lasers are guaranteed to be turn-key and maintenance free over their entire life-span. No user serviceable parts or components are inside or outside the laserhead and laserdriver. Lasers cannot and need not to be serviced in the field. - The systems are passively air cooled (no water cooling!) and are working with regular 100 – 260 AC supply voltage.
- The applied technologies and components ensure a long lifetime and high on/off counts.
- Operation temperature:
We run extensive temperature and humidity tests with our laser modules during product development. Laser operation is tested between 10 °C and 40 °C ambient temperature with varying relative humidity (0 % - 80 %). The maximum variation of average output power and pulse duration over the entire temperature and humidity range is < 10 % peak-to-peak. - Pulsed lasers:
Reliable pulse generation without occasional pulse drop-out or Q-switching instabilities is guaranteed over the entire temperature and humidity range. Pulse quality and pulse parameters are maintained. - CW lasers:
Single-frequency operation without mode-hops is guaranteed over the entire temperature and humidity range. - Vibration and shock testing:
We run extensive shock and vibration tests under laser operation. The lasers are mounted on a shock table and various acceleration schemes are applied to the lasers in the 3 main orthogonal directions, according to IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-29 standards.
Note: Single-frequency or pulsed operation might be disturbed during impact of heavy shocks or vibrations. However the lasers will recover fully to normal operation mode within milliseconds again.
