A 532 nm laser is a type of laser that emits light at a wavelength of 532 nanometers (nm) in the middle of the green spectral region.
Diode-Pumped Solid-State (DPSS) 532nm Lasers are by far the most common green laser available on the market today. These 532 nm lasers are typically made by frequency doubling the fundamental wavelength output (e.g., 1064 nm) of a solid-state material (active medium) such as Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet), Nd:YVO4 (neodymium-doped yttrium orthovanadate), or Nd: Glass. The laser light is generated by pumping the active medium with a diode laser or flashlamp, which causes the atoms in the medium to release photons at the desired wavelength.
It’s worth noting that the output power, beam quality and other parameters of the laser vary depending on the specific design and manufacturer.
Green laser wavelengths provide more energy than their infrared counterparts, considering the same power output. This is because the shorter the wavelength, the higher the frequency or number of waves per second that pass through a point in space. Higher frequency equals higher energy.
Green lasers are used in various applications, such as fluorescence spectroscopy, optical alignment, dermatology, pumping of Ti:Sapphire lasers. Since many optics suppliers sell 532 nm radiation-dedicated optics right off-the-shelf, it is cost effective to use this particular wavelength for optics alignment, projections, imaging, etc. Many of those applications require laser source having good beam quality and high power stability.
