I'm about to order one of these. I have access to an Ocean Optics spectrometer at work so I will take some wavelength measurements

I'll have to get back to you on that... not too familiar with the absorption spectrum of nickel and copper

This system makes everything super easy, literally bolt on the harmonic generator and press a button on the controller for automatic phase matching. I'm well aware of the hazards of these short wavelengths. Most of the projects our company works on involve lasers so we're all very well trained...

In this system, 5th harmonic requires the mixing of the 2nd and 4th harmonics

3rd harmonic is in for testing!

3rd harmonic generator is on its way! They're sending us a loaner

Just took delivery of this bad boy today 😁. Quantel Q-Smart 850 Some of the specs: 850mJ/pulse @ 1064nm 430mJ/pulse @ 532nm 100mJ/pulse @ 266nm 213nm/pulse @ 213nm 5ns pulse duration, 10Hz rep rate, 0.5mrad divergence, 9mm beam diameter

For future reference, registration for the exhibition hall is free. The $895/$955 is for the SPIE conference. I attend the conference every year for work and the exhibition hall is any laser nerd's wet dream!

Subscribed for updates!!

Bump for information about where we can find this diode!!

Yea I'm not trying to break any efficiency records or anything.. just looking to learn a bit :p Thanks for the info!

Is it really as simple as placing the KTP crystal in front of the 1064nm beam? I don't have too much experience with DPSS lasers. Does the crystal need to be actively cooled?

Hmm I did find this: Witcore KTP Crystal 9x9x3mm Theta 90 PHI 23 3 S1 AR 1064nm S2 AR 532nm SHG Laser | eBay I wonder if the KTP will be able to handle the high pulse energy though.. this isn't a CW laser

Would you happen to know a source? :D

Nope, it was purchased for a project at work haha
