What is ytterbium fiber laser?
Thorlabs’ Y-Fi™ Femtosecond Ytterbium Fiber Laser is a high peak power, NIR laser that emits clean, ultrafast pulses centered at 1035 nm. Each laser also ships with a chiller and electronics unit, both of which are rack-mountable. The Y-Fi HP fiber laser is designed for hands-free operation and long-term reliability.
What is passive Q switch?
Passive Q switching is an alternative technique, where the active modulator is replaced with a saturable absorber (a passive Q switch). In a Nd:YAG laser, for example, this could be a Cr4+:YAG crystal.
What is electro optic Q switching?
Q-switching, sometimes known as giant pulse formation or Q-spoiling, is a technique by which a laser can be made to produce a pulsed output beam. Optical nonlinearities such as Q-switching were fully explained by Nicolaas Bloembergen, who won the Nobel prize in 1981 for this work.
What is Q-switched fiber laser?
Q-switched fiber lasers are pulsed lasers with a high energy content that has been widely applied in various commercial applications. Thus, this technique has been considered as an effective way of obtaining energetic pulses from a laser cavity by modulating the intracavity losses using the SAs.
What is Q switch Nd YAG laser?
Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers are highly pigment selective targeting the endogenous melanin. The Q-switched device acts as an extremely high-speed shutter. It allows the Nd:YAG rod to store a large amount of energy and permits a single, high-energy, high-speed pulse to exit the cavity.
What is Q switching explain different types of Q switching?
Q switching is a technique for obtaining energetic short (but not ultrashort) light pulses from a laser by modulating the intracavity losses and thus the Q factor of the laser resonator. The technique is mainly applied for the generation of nanosecond pulses of high energy and peak power with solid-state bulk lasers.
