7 J at 532 nm with a Top Hat beam profile
Gaïa pushes forward the limits of output energy reachable at high repetition
rates. This Nd:YAG laser delivers indeed more than 12 J at 1064 nm and
7 J at 532 nm in a single beam with repetition rates up to 5 Hz.
Thanks to its high efficiency, Gaïa is very compact and offers easy operation
and maintenance.
Gaïa combines the best characteristics for many industrial applications:
short pulse duration and high energy to offer high intensity pulses, very low
modulations to have an uniform stress, a high repetition rate for a faster
process, unprecedented energy stability and excellent beam pointing
stability.
Gaïa was also specially designed for high energy Ti:Sa amplifiers pumping
and offers a unique solution for ultrafast Terawatt systems.
It demonstrates a top-hat beam profile with very low peak-to-valley spatial
modulations, reproducible beam profile, a very limited beam distortion along
propagation and a short pulse duration to avoid prelasing in the Ti:Sa
amplifiers and to limit ASE.
