Q-Double series
Pure air-cooled diode-pumped nanosecond double-pulse laser
The Q-Double is a compact, diode-pumped, purely air-cooled nanosecond double-pulse laser with active Q-Switch, which was specially developed for the needs of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The systems offer high pulse power and power stability with a pulse energy of up to 2x 80 mJ and a repetition rate of up to 100 Hz.
Developed and manufactured by:
