1064 nm Q-Switched Diode-Pumped Solid State Laser
| Model Power UP-5 5 Watts UP-10 10 Watts UP-20 20 Watts For customers who require a compact, efficient, precision laser without the marking head, scanner or marking software, ideal for a variety of OEM, Materials Processing and Scientific Applications RMI DPSS Laser Systems feature single mode (TEM00) beam operation and the shortest Q-Switch pulse duration in their class. This results in a higher energy density, higher peak power and better materials processing than with competing systems. |
Easy Integration: Hardware and Software Laser control is available through the controller using the following options: • Easy to use front panel controls • RS232 serial communication • Analog current control for pump diode (0-10V) • Analog FPS control for laser source (0-5V) • Programmable digital I/O’s (PLC – compatible) • Digital pulse triggering • External first pulse suppression • Remote interlock • Firmware update in the field through RS232 |

- Resistor Trimming
The use of 1064 nm lasers in processing microelectronic devices, such as the trimming of thick and thin film resistors is well established that the laser has become a common tool for this application. This is especially true for high-volume, high-accuracy trimming operations.
- Spectroscopy
Raman scattering is a valuable spectroscopic technique having a number of applications involving solid, liquid or gas samples. The Raman effect occurs when a sample is irradiated with 1064 nm (cw) laser light and a small fraction of the radiation scattered from the sample exhibits shifted frequencies that correspond to the sample's vibrational transitions.
- Manufacture of OEM Marking Equipment
One of the largest uses for 1064 nm DPSS lasers is for incorporation into laser marking equipment, since most marker manufacturers do not manufacture the lasers themselves. RMI Laser is one of the most highly respected suppliers of 1064nm laser platforms for this purpose. Please contact our in-house integration department for more information.
- Solar Cell Scribing
Scribing on conductive films used in thin film solar cells is often achieved with 1064 nm laser scribing. Machines used to accomplish this can accommodate very large photovoltaic cells and rapidly scribe the conductive film by using multiple heads. The manufacturing process can also involve laser micro-drilling and cutting operations in silicon using the same equipment.
- Silicon Wafer Processing
1064 nm lasers are used in wafer processing in a variety of applications including scribing, cutting and microdrilling as well as for impurity removal.
