engine; the same package is Excellent beam quality Gaussian, TEM00, M1.3 used for either wavelength. The SNP series are designed for high average power, either from pulse energies of 15J at 1064nm, or from free running repetition rates up to 40kHz; the SFP series allow users to select up to Efficient, air cooled Typically dissipates <10W from laser head and consumes <20W three fixed frequencies, set at the factory, from 10Hz to 4kHz; the STP series enable the user to trigger the laser on demand, varying the period from 100ms to 500s, pulse to pulse.

Extremely long life High reliability pump diode, specialty optics, and sealed package contribute to MTTF over 14 years and expected lifetimes exceeding 10,000 hours (consult factory for details)
