All lasers in the LQ529 series are built on a ring cavity design and feature a pump chamber with a diffuse ceramic reflector. This technical approach allows the LQ529 lasers, unlike those with traditional linear cavities, to deliver a homogeneous, nearly flat-top laser beam profile, while maintaining exceptional stability in output energy and spatial radiation parameters. The beam pointing stability of the LQ529 is superior, with less than 20 µrad in the vertical plane and 80 µrad in the horizontal plane.
All critical components of the laser are thermally stabilized, and combined with the vibration-resistant design, this ensures outstanding long-term stability of the output radiation. The efficient thermostats used in the LQ529 ensure a warm-up time of under 10 minutes.
To minimize maintenance time, the LQ529 features a flash lamp with a lifespan of over 30 million pulses and is designed for easy and quick replacement without requiring access to the laser head optical cavity.
A closed-loop water-to-air cooling system is integrated into a compact, single-phase laser power supply, which can be controlled both via PC and a remote control unit.
