The compact, all-in-one, turnkey design of the Q-TUNE requires little maintenance, with all laser electronics integrated into the housing. The seamless laser and Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) integration, combined with separate output ports, allows you to quickly and easily access and control both OPO and pump laser wavelengths. The breakthrough, water-free, air-cooled laser crystal pumping technology, eliminates the need for chillers and large power supplies. In fact, the only external module is the mains adapter that provides 12 or 28 VDC, 50 – 150 W power. Fewer maintenance requirements, no consumable components, and lower power consumption means a lower Cost of Ownership, less hassle, and less downtime. 

The easy-to-use Q-TUNE laser provides hands-free tuning from 410nm to 2300nm, maintaining <6 cm-¹ linewidth. It produces < 5ns pulse widths, with up to 5mJ of pulse energy in the visible range, and truly variable pulse repetition rate, with no performance change from single-shot to 100Hz. Designed to last, the Q-TUNE has a guaranteed pump diode lifetime greater than 2 giga-shots. Upon request, optional extensions are available, like a second harmonic generator to increase the tuning range down to 210 nm with a <12 cm-¹ linewidth, fiber-coupled OPO laser output,  compact spectrometer for real-time monitoring of OPO wavelength and linewidth, and air purging for extended UV optic lifetime.

The Q-TUNE-IR series is the perfect high peak power, coherent, DPSS light source for researchers working with infrared spectroscopy applications. This series uses an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) to produce tunable wavelength in the 1380 – 4500 nm range with a linewidth less than 10 cm-1, achieving > 6.5mJ of pulse energy @ 3500nm for the F-10 configuration (> 2mJ @ 3500nm for C-10) with a 10Hz repetition rate. The Q-TUNE-IR requires little maintenance, with all laser electronics integrated into the housing, including an air-cooling system, eliminating the need for chillers or large power supplies, all while providing a guaranteed pump diode lifetime greater than 2 giga-shots.

All of these features make the Q-TUNE tunable DPSS laser the perfect coherent light source to enhance and simplify your temporally resolved laser spectroscopy and non-linear spectroscopy applications. To get more technical information about the Q-TUNE tunable DPSS laser, Click Here!
