Description

The Plasma PIV system is a fully DPSS dual-head laser system designed specifically for PIV applications. It comprises two fully independent frequency-doubled Nd:YAG lasers that are beam-combined to a common beam axis. These lasers each produce 532 nm outputs of 75 mJ per pulse up to 150 Hz and 60 mJ at 200 Hz with pulse lengths of ~10 ns. Pulsed diode pumping, ultra-stable mechanics, damage-resistant optics, and innovative design make the Plasma PIV system highly reliable. Offering a circular homogeneous beam with a low M², it is an ideal tool for high-brightness, high-homogeneity light-sheet formation. With no services required except the mains electrical input the Plasma PIV is a stand-alone turnkey system with an output suited to a huge range of PIV applications.
