Terra PIV, the diode pumped Nd:YLF laser

External and internal triggering

Terra PIV is a dual oscillator/single head, high repetition rate, diodepumped Nd:YLF laser. The Terra PIV offers the ultimate in flexibility for
PIV and other dual output applications.

Built-in optics for beam combination

The combination of two independent oscillators allows complete
control of pulse separation and pulse energy. Both oscillators in the
Terra PIV system are identical in optical design giving temporally and
spatially matched pulses for the highest degree of cross-correlation.
Each oscillator can be independently triggered via TTL inputs. As an
option, a compact, external combination box can be directly attached
to the laser to provide for an easy and safe access to the beam combination optics.

Compact & rugged package designed for 24/7 operation

The Terra PIV uses our proprietary intracavity frequency doubling to
achieve high energy 527 nm outputs without resorting to the tight focusing (which can result in optical damage) necessary for extra-cavity
doubling. Our proprietary pump chamber design increases the overall
efficiency allowing for high pulse energy, excellent beam quality and
long component lifetimes from a compact and robust diode-pumped
package.
