Footnotes:
The compact Explorer laser delivers exceptional versatility. Customers can interface with the Explorer L-Series power supply either through RS 232 software interface or via analog TTL control signals. Sophisticated software algorithms, such as Burst Mode and First-Pulse Suppression, and supporting multiple software command sets ensure straight forward product integration. Finally, the Explorer system’s rugged design enables integrating the compact laser head into a motion control system to simplify complex optical layouts.
The Explorer 1064 nm Vanadate-based (Nd:YVO4) laser provides more than 2.5 W power and is targeted for memory repair, selective ablation in thin film processes and marking applications.
