3m.i.k.r.o.n.™ BENEFITS

As of today 3mikron is the market leader in the field of diode-pumped solid-state lasers in the mid-IR region. Especially in the medical field 3mikron is of special interest as it is able to emit at 2'940 nm, the typical Er:YAG wavelength, which corresponds to the maximum level of water absorption.

3mikron offers the following benefits:

• Beam Quality
  3mikron offers high beam quality and accordingly high focusability.
• Speed
  3mikron enables repetition rates up to 2 kHz.
• Efficiency
  Because of higher efficiency electricity consumption and cooling demands are reduced drastically compared to flash lamp pumped lasers.
• Life time
  Compared to flash lamps laser diodes are of longer life time which involves longer maintenance intervals.
• Compactness
  3mikron modules are very compact due to their smaller pump sources and cooling systems, leading to laser devices, which are more convenient to use.
• Flexibility
  The wide range of adjustable laser parameters (pulse energy, pulse duration, repetition rate) offer a high level of flexibility for different applications.
• Reliability
  3mikron modules are maintenance free and allow for robust construction of laser devices.
