Dear Photonics User,

We would like to introduce our Autumn newsletter edition covering recent company and products updates.

EKSPLA and EKSMA Products Under One Link

EKSPLA lasers and EKSMA photonics components now are under one link WWW.EKSPLA.COM. The whole range of products is divided in categories with short descriptions included, new items are added.

New Series of Diode-Pumped Nanosecond Lasers

A new series of diode-pumped q-switched Nd:YVO₄ lasers has been developed. NL640 Series lasers provide output power up to 6 W at 1064 nm and repetition rate up to 40 kHz. Short pulse duration (6 ns at 5 kHz), variable repetition rate, external triggering, turn-key operation and compact, cost-effective all-solid state design make this laser an attractive tool for wide range of materials processing and other applications.

BBO for Q-Switching

BBO crystals are acknowledged as primary choice for Q-switching of high power and high repetition rate lasers. EKSPLA provides finished Z-cut anti-reflection coated crystals with gold electrodes.
Standard size is 3x3x20 mm however other dimensions are also available at request.

Motorized Rotation Stage for 1" Optics

Motorized Rotation Stages 960-0160 provide 360° of rotation with high accuracy and stability. This is an excellent motorized rotator for Ø23 mm (1") or Ø30 mm optics. A step of the motor renders 0.6 arcmin of rotation.

Remotely Controlled Power Supply

Power Supply PS5010 for flash-lamp pumped high-energy lasers produced by EKSPLA has been upgraded with remote control feature. Remote control through RS232 port facilitates integration of PS5010 into sophisticated laser systems. A user can remotely start or stop the unit, set required output voltage, repetition rate, pulsewidth, run diagnostics tests. LabView drivers and simple control software are available.
