Surelite series
Laser with high reliability and excellent parameters
Features
- Remote control or local control via RS-232 or TTL interface
- The internal water-to-air cooler eliminates the need for an external cooling water connection.
- Integrated Gaussian optics ensure low beam divergence and spatial uniformity.
- The graphite elements of the resonator provide long-term mechanical and thermal stability.
Applications
Surelite has long proven its excellent features and reliability, at a very competitive price. With over 3000 Surelite lasers in use worldwide in scientific, industrial and medical applications, Surelite lasers are used in applications such as remote sensing in forestry, spectroscopic analysis, particle velocimetry (PIV), laser machining, marking and biological research. The excellent beam quality and unsurpassed output energy make Surelite the ideal pump laser for OPO systems, dye laser systems and Ti:Sapphire lasers.
Surelite I, II and III all use the same simple and efficient single crystal oscillator design. The Gauss optic mirror optimally collects modes for maximum energy output. The unique crystal structure, proprietary Q-switch technology and Continuum's proprietary diffuse reflector technology all contribute to the Surelite's efficiency and excellent performance.
