EO (EdgeWave) laser EF20P-QSF function and principle details
EO EF20P-QSF is a high-power, high-repetition-rate nanosecond Q-switched laser that uses semiconductor-pumped solid-state laser (DPSS) technology and is suitable for precision machining, laser marking, LIBS (laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy) and scientific research applications.
1. Kärnfunktioner
(1) Hög effekt och hög pulsenergi
Average power: 20 W (@1064 nm).
Single pulse energy: up to 1 mJ (depending on the repetition rate).
Repetition rate: 1–200 kHz (adjustable), to meet different processing requirements.
(2) Utmärkt strålkvalitet
M² < 1.3 (close to the diffraction limit), suitable for fine micromachining.
Gaussian beam, small focus spot, high energy density.
(3) Flexibel pulskontroll
Adjustable pulse width: 10–50 ns (typical value), to optimize the processing effect of different materials.
External trigger: supports TTL/PWM modulation, compatible with automation systems.
(4) Tillförlitlighet av industriell kvalitet
All-solid-state design (lamp-free pumping), life span >20,000 hours.
Air cooling/water cooling optional, adapt to different working environments.
2. Working principle
EF20P-QSF is based on Q-switched DPSS laser technology, and the core process is as follows:
(1) Semiconductor pumping (LD Pumping)
Laser diode (LD) pumps Nd:YVO₄ or Nd:YAG crystal to excite rare earth ions (Nd³⁺) to metastable energy levels.
(2) Q-switched pulse generation
Acousto-optic Q-switching (A-O Q-Switch) or electro-optic Q-switching (E-O Q-Switch) quickly switches the resonant cavity Q value, and releases high-power nanosecond pulses after accumulating energy.
(3) Wavelength conversion (optional)
Synchronous frequency generation (SHG) and triple frequency generation (THG) are performed through nonlinear crystals (such as LBO, KTP), and the output is 532 nm (green light) or 355 nm (ultraviolet light).
(4) Beam shaping & output
The output is optimized by a beam expander/focusing lens to ensure high energy density and processing accuracy.
