The DLS is a pulsed diode pumped Nd:YAG laser to utilise the advantages of laser diode technologies for applications in metal fine cutting and drilling.

Typical Applications and Markets

The very high beam quality, high repetition rates and short pulse duration are preferred for precision fine cutting and precision micro drilling at a very fast processing speed. The high beam quality leads to kerf widths >=15 µm and, with high peak power, holes of <=700 µm depth by one single pulse are drilled.

Technical characteristics

The diode pumped laser supply impacts minimal thermal effects in the laser rod, attributing a stable operation over the whole frequency range.Advantages of the diode pumped technology over the conventional lamp pumped system are

Increased electro-optical efficiency Decreased power supply requirements Longer operational time
