DPSS Lasers FAQ

 Please contact us with any questions.

1. What does DPSS stand for?

2. The specifications for some of your lasers give more than one value for Power Stability. For example, the page for 671 nm Red Lasers 500-800 mW gives Power Stability as <1%, <3%, <5%, <10% (rms, over 4 hours). Please could you explain this?

3. Are you able to offer lasers with higher power stabilities than are shown on your web pages?

4. Are the laser systems you offer CE Marked?

5. Are there any tolerances for the vertical output direction of the laser beam?

6. Can you advise on the necessary output power ratios of red, green and blue lasers in order to create a white light laser source.?

 1. What does DPSS stand for?

DPSS is the abreviation for Diode Pumped Solid State.

 2. The specifications for some of your lasers give more than one value for Power Stability. For example, the page for 671 nm Red Lasers 500-800 mW gives Power Stability as <1%, <3%, <5%, <10% (rms, over 4 hours). Please could you explain this?

<1%, <3%, <5%, <10% (rms, over 4 hours) means that these lasers are available with any of these 4 levels of power stability. In general our quotation is for power stabilities of <5% & <10% lasers. If higher power stability is required, the price will be higher.

 3. Are you able to offer lasers with higher power stabilities than are shown on your web pages?

In some cases, yes. For example, the SDL-671-300T 300 mW red laser at 671 nm can be offered with a power stability of <1%.

 4. Are the laser systems you offer CE Marked?

Yes. All of Dream Lasers' standard laser systems and power supplies have been CE Marked since the beginning of 2006.

 5. Are there any tolerances for the vertical output direction of the laser beam?

The laser beam is parallel to the base of the laser head with an angular tolerance of less than 1 degree.

 6. Can you advise on the necessary output power ratios of red, green and blue lasers in order to create a white light laser source.?

Closely matched beam divergences and beam diameters are also crucial to achieving good results. Dream Lasers are able to advise and produce suitable lasers. The following examples illustrate suitable combinations:

A 760 mW 635 nm red laser module and 450 mW 532 nm green laser could be used with a 600 mW 473 nm blue laser to create white light. We can supply these lasers with the same beam divergence of 2.5 mard and a beam diameter of 6 mm,

A 635 mW 635 nm red laser module and 378 mW 532 nm green laser could be used with a 500 mW 473 nm blue laser to create white light. Again we can offer these lasers with the same beam divergence of 2.5 mard and a beam diameter of 6 mm.

A DPSS 5000 mW 671 nm red laser and 450 mW green laser could be used with a 600 mW blue laser to create white light. We can offer these lasers with the same beam divergence of 1.5mard and a beam diameter of 5 mm.

The above are only examples of possible combinations.
