The Spectra-Physics Explorer® XP - now available at both 532 nm and 355 nm - is the world's first compact all-in-one laser that combines the laser head and power supply into a single package that fits into the palm of your hand.With the industry’s smallest footprint, light 3 kg weight, air-cooled design and rugged construction, the Explorer XP laser is simple to integrate into machine tools and is ideal for use on a moving gantry.
The Explorer XP laser delivers exceptional performance including short pulse width for minimum heat affected zone, unmatched pulse-to-pulse stability and superior beam quality. It operates across a wide repetition rate range from single shot up to 200 kHz (355 nm) and 300 kHz (532 nm). With its short laser resonator cavity, Explorer XP lasers produce high peak powers that in some materials can outperform higher average power lasers. The superior mode quality (M2 <1.1 typical) over the full repetition-rate range leads to improved spatial resolution and larger depth-of-focus. The Spectra-Physics patented intra-cavity design enables efficient conversion to the green and UV, resulting in the highest pulse-to-pulse stability for consistent processing and higher yields.
Based on the proven Explorer architecture, the Explorer XP laser is rugged and highly reliable for demanding 24/7 applications. All optical components are soldered in place to ensure exceptional ruggedness and durability in harsh operating environments. No solder flux is used, thereby minimizing organic contaminants that can degrade laser performance. Explorer XP lasers are tested to endure bare product shock and vibration with accelerations of up to 100 g.
For ease of use, the Explorer XP series is equipped with the E-Pulse feature, offering constant pulse energy which is ideal for applications with varying repetition rates. Additionally, the system can be operated using TTL and analog control signals. Real-time pulse energy values are available on the integrated Analog Port. For applications that rely on the synchronization of multiple lasers, the Explorer XP offers a dedicated port to operate multiple lasers synchronously or with precisely separated laser pulses.
With its tiny footprint, ease of integration, exceptional performance, rugged and reliable construction and versatile features, the Explorer XP laser is the ultimate, air-cooled DPSS solution.
