nnnnA Newport Corporation Brand
nnnnThe Spectra-Physics Explorer® laser delivers reliability and versatility in a compact footprint
nnnnthrough its innovative diode-pumped solid state architecture. The Explorer laser is easy to use
nnnnand supplies excellent mode quality. Its nearly diffraction-limited TEM0Q output beam allows
nnnnfor tight focusing and high spatial resolution. High reliability, high repetition rate, Gaussian
nnnnbeam parameters and superior pulse-to-pulse stability make the Explorer laser the ultimate
nnnneconomic solution for demanding applications.
nnnnThe Explorer family uses three different types of gain medium. Nd:YLF is the active laser gain
nnnnmedium of choice for applications that rely on high pulse energy and high pulse peak power
nnnnat low repetition rates. The Explorer 532-2Y uses Nd:YAG as active laser gain medium to
nnnngenerate very high pulse energy values in the range of 5-30 kHz. The Explorer Vanadate
nnnn(Nd:YV04) models are used in applications that rely on high average power in high throughput
nnnnapplications.
nnnnThe Explorer's compact laser head and state-of-the-art power supply deliver exceptional
nnnnversatility. Customers can interface with the Explorer L-Series power supply either through RS
nnnn232 software interface or via analog TTL control signals. Advanced circuitry measures single
nnnnpulse energies or average output power. This extensive pulse monitoring enables BURST-
nnnnMode and First-Pulse Suppression, allowing pulse bursts with constant energies. In addition
nnnnthe E-Pulse™ feature provides constant pulse energy while applying random external trigger
nnnnpulses. Sophisticated software algorithms and supporting multiple software command sets
nnnnensure straight forward product integration. Finally, the Explorer system's rugged design
nnnnenables integrating the compact laser head into a motion control system to simplify complex
nnnnoptical layouts.
