Cutting Edge Optronics (CEO Laser) recently manufactured one of the largest, commercially available, diode pumped laser amplifiers in the world. This REA Series laser amplifier pumps a one inch diameter Nd:YAG laser rod with more than 400 QCW laser diode bars, and produces more than 9 Joules of gain switched energy and over 7.5 Joules of stored energy.
DPSS amplifiers offer several advantages over flashlamp-pumped amplifiers, including: increased electrical-to-optical efficiency, reduced thermal lens strength, improved energy stability and reduced depolarization losses. In addition, some DPSS amplifiers can be operated at much higher repetition rates (10s of Hz to 1kHz). The lifetime of the laser diode bars in these amplifiers is > 10 billion pulses which equates to years or decades in many applications, making the amplifier nearly maintenance-free.

Over what wavelengths does the laser supply the above parameters?
This is a laser amplifier that pumps a 25mm Nd:YAG laser rod, and it operates at 1064nm. Thanks for the question.
Congrats to all team to devlop such laser amplifier
what is the temporal duration of the pulse and the repetition rate? What is the spatial beam quality? Is more detailed technical literature available? I am interested in using this kind of pump laser to pump Ti:S in a CPA laser system.
Thank you for your questions. An engineering representative will be in contact with you shortly to further discuss your application.
Is it possible to find this device in Turkey market?
Thanks for the question Marul. CEO Laser delivers laser products world-wide. An engineering representative will be in touch with you shortly to answer anymore questions you may have.
