Laser Components
Scientific Materials Corporation (SMC) offers the laser industry the
highest quality solid-state laser components available. SciMaxä
L.S. grade laser rods are the result of Small Business Innovation
Research studies on material purity and truly gives credence to the
term "Crystal Clear." SMC’s research has led to numerous
discoveries which have been combined to make a superior product. Lasers
based on SMC’s rods have demonstrated significantly improved
performance including:
• Increased efficiency
• Increased output
power
• Increased damage
resistance
• Reduced thermal
lensing
• Higher brightness
• Higher TEM00
output.
Laser rods are available in HP, SP, and UP grades of Nd:YAG laser
components with a variety of dopant ions and concentrations. |
