Description

1030 nm laser module is a DPSS laser with Yb: YAG gains medium and high power pump. The SLM version of this laser is used for inspection of optical components at a wavelength, which is popular in high power fiber lasers and ultrashort pulse DPSS lasers. This version features a typical M2 of 1.1.

Note:

In optical systems with strong back-reflections (e.g. more than 10%), the laser does not have to be protected by using an optical isolator, unless high laser operation stability is required. Typical applications include interferometry, confocal microscopy (especially working with reflective samples), etc.

¹ Measured using HighFinesse LineWidth Analyzer LWA-10k having 10 kHz resolution. Linewidth Analyzer testing is not provided for each laser being manufactured, the standard test is OSA measurement with 20-30 pm resolution instead.

² The optical power of SLM lasers shall not be tuned and SLM performance is not guaranteed at power ratings other than the factory preset. However, the power setting capability is not disabled. External attenuators are recommended.

³ The long term power test is carried out at constant laser body temperature (+/-0.1 ‎°C) using an optical power meter with an input bandwidth of 10 Hz. The actual measurement rate has a period of about 20 seconds to 1 minute.

⁴ The long term power test is carried out at constant laser body temperature (+/-0.1 ‎°C) using an optical power meter with an input bandwidth of 10 Hz. The actual measurement rate has a period of about 20 seconds to 1 minute.

⁵ Noise level is measured with a fast photodiode connected to an oscilloscope. The overall system bandwidth is from 2 kHz to 20 MHz.

⁶ Beam width and height are measured at 0.4 m from output aperture.

⁷ By default laser can have varying polarization contrast (from very low contrast to higher contrast units depending on each serial number). On request, laser can be modified to have polarization contrast of around 1000:1.

⁸ For lasers without integrated optical isolators.

⁹ Break-out-boxes AM-C8 and AM-C3 can be used for conversion of UART communication to either USB or RS232.

¹⁰ SLM lasers shall not be modulated - use external modulators instead.

¹¹ Excluding control interface pins and an output window/fiber assembly.

¹² Whichever occurs first. The laser has an integrated operational hours counter.

¹³ Converted from bandwidth value.
