532 nm Fiber Laser

Product Description

The QTekLaserTM 532 nm fiber laser utilizes second-harmonic generation (SHG), providing narrow-linewidth polarization-maintaining (PM) light at a power levels up to 14 W. A smart internet-of-things (IoT)-based control system is adopted to enable user-friendly interface. The system is packaged in a typical industrial 4U 19" rack-mountable chassis with a laser head.

Second-Harmonic Generation (SHG)

QTekLaserTM offers laser systems with extended wavelength range by combining nonlinear frequency conversion technologies. Through second-harmonic generation (SHG) we achieve significant laser power at the visible and NIR regime (figure 2;  red-shaded cells of table 1).  With the development of periodic poled crystal technology and the associated waveguide technology, nonlinear frequency conversion has become a powerful tool to extend the application scope of fiber lasers. For QTekLaserTM products, the max power of the converted laser light is constrained by the damage threshold of commercially available nonlinear crystals, which is typically several tens of watts.

QTekLaserTM lasers comply with Federal Regulations (21 CFR Subchapter J, Part 1040)  as administered by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health and are certified to IEC 60825-1:2014 standards.

It is the end user's responsibility to ensure that no significant light is retroreflected back into QTekLaserTM systems as this can degrade performance and potentially damage the lasers. To prevent this, the use of an external optical isolator is strongly recommended.  Damage due to retroreflected light is not covered under warranty.
