Description

The PL series of continuous wave (CW), grating tuned, infrared gas lasers, sets the standards for high power, stable sources for a wide variety of applications:
 

- Molecular spectroscopy
- Non-linear optics
- Interferometry
- Process control
- Atmospheric studies
- Plasma density measurements

 

The infrared has long been dubbed the “Cinderella” spectral region due to the low level of blackbody emission at long wavelengths but this was changed with the development of carbon dioxide (CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO) lasers.

PL3 model is unprecedented in today’s market. It operates as either a CO2 (output power up to 25 W) or CO (with output >1 W over the range 5.1 μm – 6.0 μm) laser. Using different isotopic gas fills the PL3 laser can give up to 1,000 lines across the infrared.

The PL3 laser operates sealed off on low gain CO transitions in the range 5.2 μm to 6.0 μm under hazard free, near room temperature conditions. It features a UHV sealed, split discharge tube with both the diffraction grating and piezo-mounted output coupler within the vacuum envelope for lowest loss operation.

The PL3 gas is user replenishable. By changing the cavity optics and gas mixture, the PL3 can be converted into a tuneable CO2 laser covering the 9μm to 11μm region. Typical single line powers are 1 W CO and 20 W CO2. The PL3 is driven by the compact, LPS-D dual output switch mode power supply.
