The DPSS Line at Continuum

Nd:YLF Nd:YAG

A Broad Approach to Product Quality:

– Exacting Production Protocols

  • Expanded Cleanroom Facilities
  • Exacting Standardization/Spec Testing

– Engineered Hardiness

  • “Shake and Bake” Testing

– Lasting Reliability

  • V2 Diode Modules
  • Consistent Performance

DPSS/Ultrafast Production Lab

  • Class 10,000 clean room designed exclusively for DPSS and

Ultrafast production

– Daily particle tracking, 5S adherence and maintenance – Chillers and test equipment dedicated at each workstation for individual system quality assurance

DPSS Line Engineering Testing

  • All DPSS (Terra and Mesa) products qualified
  • Vibration/Shock/Drop tests performed

Drop testing 8” drop/container edge Vibration testing X-Y-Z Axes, 5-200 Hz @30 min/Axis Shock testing X-Y Axes, 100 10-g shocks/Axis

DPSS Line Engineering Testing

Iterative testing until every specification is reproduced

Mesa M2 before testing: <1.2 Mesa M2 after testing: <1.2 Power specification before/after testing

DPSS Line Engineering Testing

Minimum: 16.46 W Maximum: 16.74 W Average: 16.59 W Std dev: 0.03810 W %rms: 0.23 P-P %: 1.69

Long term power stability graph over 20 hrs after all tests completed: Mesa 532-16-0

DPSS Line Quality Assurance

  • Each DPSS head Continuum produces is qualified for output

performance and reliability – Repeated vibration testing

  • Production laser meets specification  Vibration 1 hour
  • All specifications tested again for consistency

– Full characterization of output beam: Power, M2, Pulsewidth

Continuum DPSS Advantages

  • Maximum output efficiency due to intracavity

doubling mechanism

  • Proprietary diode module/pump chamber design

ensures optimal output and ease of service

– Peak performance maintained as diodes age – 3 minute diode module change on replacement – No cavity realignment needed after module swap

  • User-defined repetition rate optimization
  • Hermetically purged/sealed optical cavity
