Description
All lasers from the LPY series can be fitted with an injection seeder to provide true SLM operation. The Single Longitudinal Mode (SLM) output is actively controlled by a piezo drive to the rear cavity mirror to ensure long-term stability of the output. The seeder itself is mounted within the laser head on the ultra-stable Invar frame and is optically decoupled by two Faraday isolators for optical stability. A choice is offered of seeding either super-Gaussian coupled resonators or true TEM00 resonators depending upon the application; see TEM00 Lasers. With the highly modular Invar structure of the LPY series,, it is also possible to seed a twin-head laser system from one seeder, yielding two mutually coherent pulses. Output energies of up to 10J and repetition rates of up to 200Hz are available.
