An automatically controlled Nd:YAG laser with variable pulse width

The development of a high-energy, pulsed Nd:YAG laser system for materials-processing and medical applications is reported here. A variable pulse width in the range of 0.3–10 ms and a variable pulse repetition rate up to 50 pps are provided. An automatic operation system using a microprocessor-based...

More Information
Summary:The development of a high-energy, pulsed Nd:YAG laser system for materials-processing and medical applications is reported here. A variable pulse width in the range of 0.3–10 ms and a variable pulse repetition rate up to 50 pps are provided. An automatic operation system using a microprocessor-based driver/ controller enables safe operation of the laser system and automatic material processing when integrated in a laser/robot system.
