Quasi-CW Lasers

Quasi-continuous-wave (Quasi-CW) lasers feature a switched pump source that is switched on for short enough time periods to reduce thermal effects, while also remaining switched on for long enough time periods to maintain a continuous-wave optical output.

  • Vanguard™ Quasi-CW Lasers are state-of-the-art DPSS lasers specifically designed to produce exceptionally reliable quasi-CW output at 355 nm or 532 nm. This family of rugged OEM lasers use advanced mode-locking technology to deliver picosecond pulses with low noise and excellent TEM00 mode quality.
