The following fundamentals of laser theory and practice can be investigated:
- Stability regions of laser cavity
- Various transversal cavity modes (TEM00 and higher)
- Optimum cavity configuration for TEM00 mode
- Optimum output coupling
- Laser threshold and differential efficiency
- Passive Q-switching threshold phenomena, pulse forms, optimization for maximum output power and maximum output energy, shortest pulse conditions
- Internal frequency doubling in CW-operation
- External frequency doubling in Q-switched mode
- Fluorescence lifetime of the active medium
- Laser dynamics (relaxation oscillations, Q-switching), dependence on active medium parameters; comparison between different active media (Nd:YAG and Nd:YVO4)
The LASKIT®-500 includes:
- Pump laser diode with Peltier cooler and attached pump optics
- Laser diode driver & thermoelectric controller LDD1-1T (optional: LPS1-2T, microprocessor-controlled)
- Laser crystal Nd:YAG (Nd:YVO4 optional), with a heat sink
- Set of two laser cavity mirrors (flat/curved)
- Cr4+:YAG passive Q-switch, AR/AR coated
- KTP frequency doubler with special coatings, in a holder
- Mirror and crystal mounts (3 pieces)
- Optical bench
- Diode laser module (670 mm) for aligning the laser cavity, with holder
- Infrared-to-visible converter (model IR-VIS-15-B), Ø 15 mm, for aligning the IR laser and mode analysis (also suitable for high-power lasers)
- Ultrafast photo detector (model UPD-300-SP) with rise time <300 ps, spectral range 320 - 1100 nm, external power supply, suitable for observing the relaxation oscillations and pulse duration of the Q-switched mode
- CCD linear array (model CCD-2000M) with 2048 pixels, high sensitivity, driver electronics and power supply, suitable for laser beam analysis, M² measurements, autocorrelators, etc.
The laser crystal, the passive Q-switch and the KTP-doubler are mounted in special holders for fast and easy exchange, alignment and handling. Switching from one mode of operation to another (e.g. from CW to Q-switched, or from IR to frequency doubling) can be done in a minute.
