Midaz A50-A laser amplifier delivers 15 W from IR microchip laser

Midaz Lasers Ltd, London, UK, has amplified microchip lasers ─ with sub-ns pulse duration at 50kHz and 200mW output power ─ to >15 W using its DPSS air-cooled amplifier model A50-A.

Midaz was looking to significantly increase its laser output power by using a single stage amplifier module. The laser-amplifier solution eliminates cost and complexity of using multiple pre-amp stages.

The combination of seed laser and amplifier can easily integrate into laser systems for micromachining and marking or can be used for research and development.
