What Are DPSS QS NS Lasers?
Diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) Q-switched (QS) nanosecond (NS) lasers utilize a solid gain medium to produce highly focused light.
Q-switching refers to the method of pulsing the laser to generate short, intense bursts of light in the nanosecond range. Q-switching achieves high peak power, making it ideal for applications that require precision and minimal thermal impact. Advanced Optowave Corporation’s DPSS QS NS lasers are available in numerous wavelengths, including UV nanosecond lasers and green nanosecond lasers.
