The Spectra-Physics Explorer® family of lasers delivers reliability and versatility in a compact footprint through its innovative diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) architecture ranging from the infrared (IR) to the ultraviolet (UV) region. The Explorer XP all-in-one lasers deliver 1 W of 355 nm and 5 W of 532 nm output and combines laser head and electronics into a single compact package. All of the Explorer and Explorer XP lasers exhibit nearly diffraction-limited TEM00 output beam allows for tight focusing and high spatial resolution.High reliability, high repetition rate, Gaussian beam parameters and superior pulse-to-pulse stability make the Explorer family of lasers the ultimate economic solution for demanding 24/7 applications. The Explorer lasers are manufactured by using an automated pick-and-place technology where all optical components are soldered in place, eliminating unwanted solder flux and minimizing organic contaminants that can degrade laser operation.
