Continuum Surelite EX

• Flash-lamp pumped Nd-YAG laser operating at its fundamental wavelength of 1064 nm

• Harmonics has a pulse duration of 6-8 ns and a maximum pulse energy of 0.7 J

• Beam has a flat-top profile and can be operated at a maximum pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz

• Due to the high pulse intensity, the laser beam after being focused can ionize any medium into an optically opaque plasma

• Can send pressure waves into a material
