CNI making some wild claims

[bloompyle]

Mar. 11th, 2013 ***CNI recently developed high power water cooling Q-switched solid state 532 nm green laser up to 300 watt, 589 nm yellow laser up to 70 watts, and 660 nm red laser up to 120 watts, which has been designed as a complete laser solution for industry use in diverse applications.

Anyone else estounded by this? I'm more interested in the power of the pump diodes. Posted on their web page under new releases.

The power reported may be PEAK power derived from the Q switch
in the DPSS optical path. This is much like a SSY-1 YAG with a Q.

Honestly, I haven't really done much in that field so that whole field (q-switches and YAG pumped lasers) are all a bit foreign to me. I'll look into them a bit with my spare time tonight.

I would think the green would be pumping dyes to get 70W of yellow and 120W of red. Mike's post would coincide with what I was thinking as well. Very astonishing though.

It doesnt seem impossible to me... however I don't think they can guarantee 70W of 589nm, water cooled, Q-switched or not.

Edit: I completely forgot about dyes making 589nm, I'd place money on one of those.

They would not be quoting peak power like that, when in reality the q-switched peak is well into the kW range. "Dozens" of watts seems very very low for a q-switched pulse.

Candela SPTL's can produce something like .5 Joules of energy in the 589nm range IIRC

Now they removed the "New Released" info.
