The
RBA-Series diode pumped laser module has quickly become an industry
standard; thousands of these workhorse components are in use around the
world. They have proven themselves to be a reliable, high-performance
component in DPSS laser systems. The RBA is a second-generation model
that includes new features that make it even easier to integrate and
service. The RBA Diode-Pumped Laser Module is offered at power levels
up to 100 Watts in a simple, compact, and affordable package.
The RBA
module is an ideal building block in the development or production of
medium power rod laser systems, conversion of existing lamp-based laser
designs to diode-pumping, or retrofit of existing arc lamp hardware to
provide more stable and reliable operation.
The pump
module is completely maintenance-free. It incorporates a Nd:YAG laser
rod that is efficiently pumped by a radial array of long life laser
diode bars, and delivers excellent gain uniformity and lensing
performance. It is ideally suited for multimode applications such as
laser marking, and can also provide high beam quality for more precise
micro-machining and scientific applications.
The RBA is
driven by low voltage electronics. Cooling of the laser is accomplished
with a simple recirculating water chiller running on filtered water,
eliminating the need for deionized water systems. |

RBA Gold
Series
Diode-Pumped Nd:YAG Laser Modules – 10-75W |
|
|
|
The RBA
GOLD is the third generation of diode-pump solid state modules.
Complementing
the popular RB Plus family of modules, the RBA Gold has all the
same features as the RB Plus with an additional integrated circuit board
that protects against all major premature failure mechanisms. The RBA
Gold features build-in sensors for the monitoring of the diode array and
ambient temperatures, humidity as well as warnings for coolant leaks,
over current and over voltage problems. These CEO proprietary
protection features set a new precedent in the laser industry enabling
OEM's to protect their investments and minimize risk. In addition every
RBA Gold pump module comes standard with an unrivaled 3-year warranty.
The RBA
Gold family of DPSS modules is offered at power levels up to 100 Watts
in a simple, compact, and affordable package. It is also an ideal
building block in the development or production of medium power rod
laser systems, conversion of existing lamp-based laser designs to
diode-pumping, or retrofit of existing arc lamp hardware to provide more
stable and reliable operation.

RD-Series Diode-Pumped Nd:YAG Laser Modules (130W-150W) |
|
|
|
The
RD Series Laser Module delivers the reliability and performance of diode
pumping to high power industrial and scientific laser systems, virtually
eliminating the downtime experienced by older lamp-based laser
technologies. Drive your laser system to greater than 150 watts of CW
power.
You can use this reliable and efficient pump cavity to
serve as the "engine" in new laser system development and production, or
to convert your existing lamp-based designs to state-of-the-art diode
pumping. The module efficiently pumps a Nd:YAG laser rod by radial
arrays of efficiently coupled long lifetime laser diode bars, and
delivers good pump uniformity and stable lensing performance. The laser
module is powered with low voltage from a reliable solid-state driver,
and cooled by re-circulating filtered water from a simple chiller
system. Installations need only single phase input power, and central
cooling water is not required.
The pump head is excellently suited for high power
multi-mode laser installations, such as deep engraving, drilling and
micro welding, and can also provide the high stability and beam quality
required for higher power TEMoo installations.
