Comparison of Beam Divergence, Beam Diameter and M2

Why the Aperture – Divergence Product Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story. A true measure of the quality of a laser beam is the parameter known as M2, also referred to as a number of ‘times diffraction limited’. It describes how a beam will diverge compared to a theoretically ‘perfect’ laser beam of the same wavelength […]

Lasers for Holographic and Interferometric Techniques

Litron LPY700is 16

Pulsed Nd:YAG lasers running on a single longitudinal mode (SLM) have been around for over twenty years. Their long temporal coherence length of typically 2-3m make them very well suited for applications such as holography and electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI). Since the spatial modes in practical lasers all have slightly different optical frequencies, SLM […]

Telescopic Lasers for PIV

Litron-Nano-T-PIV

Broader, Thinner and More Uniform Light Sheets. Litron offers telescopic versions of its popular Nano L and LPY PIV laser systems for dual pulse applications requiring a significantly lower M2 value than traditional lasers but with the excellent spatial uniformity of a conventional resonator. This gives the possibility to make broad, thin, uniform light sheets […]

Different Resonator Options and why it’s important

Litron offers five distinct resonator configurations. This is more than any other manufacturer and this article sets out to help customers identify which one is best for their needs.   A. Conventional Stable This multimode resonator has been around the longest time and is the simplest in terms of design. Typical characteristics are excellent energy […]

True TEM00 or Not?

Litron is one of the few laser manufacturers to offer Nd:YAG lasers with true TEM00 beam quality as standard. Some manufacturers claim to offer lasers with TEM00 output but a closer look will show that that is not always the case. To generate a TEM00 beam requires a stable resonator and, usually, an aperture to […]
