The Wedge series is a flexible short-pulse DPSS laser platform for applications that require broader wavelength coverage, ns/ps pulse options, high peak power, rugged packaging, or application-specific configuration. Available from 266 nm to approximately 3 µm, Wedge is a strong starting point when the application requires more configuration flexibility than a compact standard nanosecond platform.

Wedge is commonly considered for OEM micromachining, LIDAR, LIBS, ablation, nonlinear optics, spectroscopy, research, and rugged industrial or airborne-style systems. Its compact, sealed, monolithic design supports integration into demanding environments where packaging, beam delivery, cooling, timing, or configuration details matter.

Start with Wedge when your application depends on:

Broader wavelength coverage from UV through IR/SWIR
ns/ps pulse options
mJ-class pulse-energy configurations
High peak power in a compact package
Rugged, compact, or airborne-style packaging requirements
Beam delivery, fiber coupling, cooling, monitoring, low-jitter, IP-rated, 28 V DC, or other custom options

Wedge is often a good starting point when the application requires broader wavelength coverage, ps-capable short-pulse operation, mJ-class pulse energy, rugged packaging, or custom beam-delivery/control options. If your requirements are closer to a compact nanosecond DPSS source, Onda or SOL may be a better starting point. For very high-pulse-energy, lower-repetition-rate requirements, Aero may be more appropriate. For ultra-compact microchip packaging, compare against SB1. RPMC can help confirm the best Bright Solutions platform based on your wavelength, pulse energy, pulse width, repetition rate, trigger/timing, output format, packaging, cooling, and application requirements.

Wedge HB/XB DPSS Laser Platform Examples:

Wedge HB/XB models are the higher-pulse-energy nanosecond configurations, a good starting point when the application prioritizes mJ-class pulse energy, active Q-switch synchronization, and select UV/visible/IR wavelength options at lower repetition rates.

Endless customization options are available. Let us know what you need!

Wedge HF/XF DPSS Laser Platform Examples:

Wedge HF/XF models are the shorter-pulse, higher-repetition-rate configurations, combining active Q-switching with sub-ns pulsewidths in a compact, rugged platform for airborne, industrial, and instrumentation applications.

Endless customization options are available. Let us know what you need!

Benefits:

Rugged monolithic industrial design:
Ready for action with a monolithic design, insensitive to vibrations & harsh environments.
High peak power up to 4 MW:
Deeper water penetration in bathymetry applications and highly efficient material ablation.
Efficient & compact air-cooling:
Smaller footprint & less maintenance while ensuring optimal performance due to low waste heat design.
Low SWaP airborne-ready:
Compact, lightweight & efficient, ideal for LIDAR and aerospace applications where space is limited.

Short nanosecond to picosecond pulses:
Allow for precise time-of-flight measurements, critical for distance/speed accuracy.
Optional beam expanding and collimation optics:
Help shape and direct the laser beam, ensuring maximum energy is delivered to the target.
Optional beam separator/independent mechanical shutters:
Allows for easy separation, independent beam control & additional safety measures.
