In 2024, Cutting Edge Optronics discovered that relentless growth isn’t about playing it safe, it’s about making bold moves. The company set a new record in annual revenue, which has doubled over the past five years. With an employee count at > 115 and growing, the company had its best performance in its 30+ year history across all key metrics.

A 7J, 527nm, 10Hz DPSS laser with a 4ns pulse width, ideal for OPCPA pumping. This diode-pumped system surpasses lamp-pumped lasers with superior beam quality, stability, and minimal wavefront distortion. Using Nd:YLF crystals and MRF technology, it achieves near-diffraction-limited performance and 78% conversion efficiency with an LBO crystal. With 0.45% pulse energy stability over 10 hours, it is a powerful and reliable OPCPA pump source.

Cutting Edge Optronics (CEO) recently built and tested one of their industry standard REA diode- pumped solid-state (DPSS) laser modules with an Er:YAG rod as the gain medium and pumped with in-house-manufactured 97Xnm laser diodes.

For 30 years, Cutting Edge Optronics has been at the forefront of laser technology, manufacturing high-performance laser diode arrays and DPSS laser systems for diverse applications, from laser hair removal and solid-state laser pumping to cutting-edge LIDAR systems.

The CPL-020-QSG, a 2J, 10Hz, 532nm pump laser, was the first of many high-pulse energy laser systems (HELs) designed and manufactured by Cutting Edge...
