O'FALLON, Mo., 1 Aug. 2007. RPMC Lasers Inc. in O'Fallon, Mo., is introducing the company's next-generation miniature Q-switched oscillator (MQO). The laser head and diode are packaged together in a high-heat-load (HHL) diode package.

Benefits include better temperature control and stability, more compact, and increased robustness.

MQO's are compact, monolithic, short pulsed solid-state lasers with output wavelengths of 946, 1030, 1047, 1053 or 1064 nanometers or the second, third, and fourth harmonics thereof, with peak powers of up to 50 kilowatts. These are available from Arctic Photonics and offered by their North American distributor RPMC Lasers Inc.

MQO's are configured to customer requirements to provide a fixed pulse width in the range of 0.1 to 10 nanoseconds with a diffraction limited beam and are capable of energies from nJ's to 200µJ.

Repetition rates from single shot to 300 kHz are available. Custom units are available such as with OPG (1.5 - 4 micron) or Ti:sapphire (~700-900 nanometers) output.
