  • Affordable

 

 

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.

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.
