CartYellow Lasers Overview
Yellow lasers are one of the most challenging lasers to produce because there are no direct diode or solid-state sources available. As a result, most of these lasers are frequency doubled Nd: YAG lasers which are designed to lase at one of the secondary lines such as 1122 nm. Even though the transition cross section at 1122 nm is about 40% of the 1064 nm laser line, the technology has matured over the past ten years to the point where yellow diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers are now more reliable than their gas laser counterparts. It is instrumental for a wide array of applications, but most notably as an excitation source in DNA sequencing and confocal fluorescence microscopy. OEM yellow laser packages and yellow laser modules are both available.
The Quantas-Q-SHIFT family of Q-switched DPSS lasers feature a built‑in nonlinear wavelength conversion stage, allowing the production of wavelengths that are not accessible with conventional solid-state laser sources, including 1163, 1177, 1300, 1317, 1551 and 1571nm. An optional harmonics generator is also available for for the Q-SHIFT, allowing generation of up to the 4th harmonic for each fundamental wavelength.
