Where to Buy Q-switched Lasers
Q-switched lasers are common sources of energetic nanosecond laser pulses, which are used for laser material processing, laser rangefinders, LIDAR, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and for various medical applications. In most cases, they are solid-state lasers, either land-pumped or diode-pumped.

Check List for Q-switched Lasers
- What is the pulse duration, pulse energy and peak power? For what pulse repetition rate do these ratings apply? (Caution: rated pulse parameters often apply only for low pulse repetition rates! For high repetition rates, pulse energies usually drop, and the pulses get longer.)
- What is the maximum average output power? (This is often achieved only for high pulse repetition rates.)
- Do you require a particularly narrow emission bandwidth? Do you need single-frequency operation, which implies that the power vs. time does not exhibit any oscillations?
- What beam quality is required (M2 factor or beam parameter product)?
- How sensitive is the laser to back-reflections? Do you need a Faraday isolator at the output?
- Is a high power efficiency (wall-plug efficiency) important?
In case that you need additional advice, consultancy from RP Photonics may be the solution.
