DPSS lasers offer more power at less cost

A Newport Spectra-Physics product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 16, 2009

Newport's Spectra-Physics Lasers Division has introduced two Q-switched diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers with improved cost per watt for photovoltaic manufacturing applications.

The Hippo 1064-27 laser delivers over 27W of infrared average power at 100kHz.

The Explorer 532-2 delivers up to 2W of green average power.

Both lasers feature short pulse width to minimise heat-affected zones, reduce kerf height and recast material.

Their pulse-to-pulse stability provides consistent scribe quality.

Newport said the lasers also exhibit excellent beam quality for narrow scribe line widths and increased depth-of-focus, delivering greater yield efficiency for photovoltaic manufacturers.

The fixed polarisation of these lasers helps simplify optical system design requirements.

The Hippo 1064-27 and Explorer 532-2 lasers will be on display at the Newport Spectra-Physics booth 817 at SPIE Photonics West, 27-29 January 2009 in San Jose, California.
