Custom
Laser Systems
We use a variety of solid-state materials, including Nd:YLF, Nd:YAG,
Nd:Glass, and Ti:sapphire. Wavelength, energy, pulsewidth,
repetition rate, and linewidth are tailored to your requirements.
Many components used in our custom designs are adopted from
our standard product line, giving you the benefit of improved
engineering and field-proven reliability.

Terawatt
Lasers
Positive Light has shipped dozens of terawatt lasers around the world.
Our Ti:sapphire TW laser system produces >1 Joule, <35 fs, and >10
TW
with repetition rates from 10 Hz to 1 kHz. For higher energy,
our Nd:Glass amplifiers produce >20 Joules and >40 T
High-Energy,
Frequency-doubled, Nd:YAG Laser
Positive Light offers several high energy, frequency-doubled Nd:YAG lasers
for
pumping
Ti:sapphire cystals (such as those used in terawatt lasers) and for
launching
flyers
(shockwave physics experiments) where beam spatial quality is
critical.
We pioneered
Relay Imaging in commercial systems. It produces
a
diffraction-limited,
uniform-intensity
beam.
Macro/Micro
Pulse Lasers for Photocathode Illumination
Photocathode Illumination requires the generation of a pulse train of
uv pulses.
Positive Light engineers have built several systems that use a mode-locked
laser
and
slice a train of pulses into a “macro-pulse.”
Long Pulse
Lasers
Positive Light can produce long pulses (e.g. pulses with durations from
20 ns
to hundreds
of microseconds) from common types of lasers.
Neodymium
Based Regenerative Amplifiers
Our vast experience with Nd:YAG, Nd:YLF, Nd:Glass,
and Ti:sapphire as amplifier mediums along with the flexibility of our
modular
approach
enables us to create a wide range of solutions for solid state amplification. |
