Solutions that upgrade Gas lasers to Solid state lasers

Gas lasers：

Gas lasers have some resulting characteristics due to the inherent properties of their physical state.

1. Advantages: Gas molecules are evenly distributed with a simple energy level, so that the light of gas lasers is showed a good quality in the terms of uniformity and homogeneity.
2. Disadvantages: It’s difficult to get the instantaneous pulse peak power on the account of the lowest gas density.

Solid state lasers：

Solid state lasers use solids as the active medium, and most of them are manufactured artificially by doping ions that have the effect of producing excited emission into glass or crystals. Generally speaking, solid state lasers have some resulting characteristics due to the inherent properties of their physical state.

1. Advantages: higher solid density and easy access to instantaneous pulsed peak power. Solid state lasers output wavelengths are mostly in the visible and near-infrared wavelengths, and can be transmitted by optical fiber, which is more convenient for application; the structure is compact, solid and durable, which is more convenient for use and maintenance; Q-switching, frequency doubling, mode-locking and other technologies can be used to change their output parameters and expand a variety of uses.

SSL lasers for SP1_TBI and SP1_DLS are more advantageous：

1、No need to replace the laser in 3-5 years

2、Cost reduction in 5 years. 43%~60%

3、>60% cost reduction after 5 years

4、Improved uptime and reliability

5、98% of electricity can be saved.

6、Argon gas contains toxic beryllium oxide, a ceramic, about 600 grams.
