SN Series Sub Nanosecond Lasers
High Power Sub ns Lasers
A pioneer of intracavity UV and green generation with 25 years of manufacturing experience and over ten thousand shipments worldwide, Photonics Industries offers the broadest sub nanosecond (ns) product selection from 15W to 100W at 1064nm, 10W to 70W at 532nm and 5W to 35W at 355nm.

DEScription
The SN Series fills the gap in high power laser availability in the subnanosecond (i.e., 60ps to 1ns) pulse width range. Such lasers have been identified as beneficial for variety of micromachining and lidar applications, but until now, have been limited to only a few Watts of average power.
Photonics Industries now offers a unique high intensity (i.e., high brightness/high peak power) sub-ns laser alterative for novel laser based material processing, research and development, as well as, scientific applications. The longer pulse widths of the SN laser allows it to be run at higher pulse energies at lower rep rates than conventional 10 to 20ps lasers
