For more than 30 years, Cutting Edge Optronics has been pushing the boundaries of what's possible with high-energy solid-state laser technology. From defence research facilities to national scientific laboratories, their diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) systems have become the benchmark for precision, reliability and scalable power in the most demanding applications worldwide.
This comprehensive White Paper examines how Cutting Edge Optronics' unique vertically integrated approach – controlling everything from epitaxial wafers through to complete turnkey systems – is delivering unprecedented performance levels across diverse high-energy applications.
What's inside?
The White Paper provides detailed insights into the technical advantages that make DPSS systems superior to legacy flash lamp pumped architectures. You'll discover how CEO's modular 'building block' approach enables highly customisable solutions, from individual laser modules through to complete high-power systems.
Key topics covered include the performance benefits of Nd:YLF gain media, the critical role of magnetorheological finishing (MRF) in achieving exceptional beam quality, and advanced pulse shaping techniques using fibre laser front ends with arbitrary waveform generators.
The paper also showcases real-world implementations, including systems delivering 10J at 20Hz for laser peening applications and a groundbreaking 7J, 10Hz system for OPCPA petawatt pumping at the UK's Central Laser Facility.
