Genus
Energy Reclassified
High energy has been redefined for Nd:YAG lasers. The Genus provides 8J of IR and 4J of green at 10Hz – the perfect alternative to multiplexing lasers of lower energy. Designed to be the ultimate Ti:Sapphire pump and materials processing laser, the Genus provides raw power in a refined package for the lab and industry. The goal of this new class of laser is to bring unmatched energy and performance in a safe and reliable package.

All Armada-class lasers come with a sophisticated Graphical User Interface for optimal control.
Additionally, Continuum announced a teaming agreement with National Energetics to provide solutions for customers requiring very high intensity laser systems. The National Energetics team is responsible for building the Texas Petawatt laser at UT Austin. Their experience in building ultrafast lasers in the TW to PW class is unmatched in the commercial world.
Features
- 8J IR, 4J Green at 10 Hz
- Superior Beam Quality
- Intuitive Graphical User Interface
- Distributed intelligence power supplies
- Ideal for Ti:Sapphire pumping or materials processing
Applications
High energy has been redefined for Nd:YAG lasers. The Genus provides 8J of IR and 4J of green at 10Hz - the perfect alternative to multiplexing lasers of lower energy. Designed to be the ultimate Ti:Sapphire pump and materials processing laser, the Genus provides raw power in a refined package for the lab and industry.
Built on the architecture found in Continuum's Agilite laser, the Genus incorporates an intuitive Graphical User Interface, active diagnostics, and distributed intelligence control. Simply put, the Genus is the highest energy, most advanced laser platform on the market today.
