LD-527 PIV

High Repetition Rate Diode Pumped Q-switched Nd:YLF Lasers for PIV

The LD-527 PIV is an evolution of the well-established LDY range of lasers. With data gathered from years of use in the field, the next generation of diode pumped Nd:YLF lasers offers improved performance and reliability over its predecessor.
These diode pumped, intra-cavity doubled, dual-cavity, Nd:YLF laser systems are ideally suited to imaging applications such as PIV and laser pump source. Output energies of up to 30mJ, 527nm per cavity at 1kHz are available.

The lasers are built around a rugged self-supporting Invar rail that bestows excellent mechanical and optical stability. This, coupled with the proprietary resonator design, leads to excellent output beams that are spatially and temporally extremely smooth and stable, giving rise to light sheets that offer almost identical shot to shot illumination.

The system can be controlled either by the in-built LCD interface or via RS232 with the supplied software suite or dll. External triggering of the lasers is accessible via a TTL interface.
