DescriptionSpecifications Models

Quanta-Ray® Nd:YAG lasers are recognized world wide for their unsurpassed performance, reliability and quality. The Quanta-Ray Lab Series are oscillator-only YAG lasers featuring a dual rod and pump chamber configuration. This proprietary design provides compensation for thermally-induced birefringence in the YAG rod, providing an output beam quality that is unique on the market.



Newly incorporated modern digital signal processing (DSP) electronics into all Quanta-Ray YAG lasers provide a number of advantages for users.

  • A direct digital interface and GUI enhances the reliability and convenience of using Quanta-Ray Lab, maximizing the time spent doing experiments.
  • Variable repetition rates are now possible with digital control. This digital control lets the user set the rep rate to integer-fractions of the lamp pulse frequency. Thus, the thermal steady-state in the resonator is maintained by a constant flash lamp frequency, but the rep rate of the light output can be varied.

The traditional features and advantages that have made Quanta-Ray the world's leading pulsed Nd:YAG laser are still integral to our design philosophy for laser quality. These features include dual-rod oscillators, gold-coated elliptical pump chambers, internal sealed beam path and high-damage-threshold optics from Spectra-Physics’ advanced coatings lab.
