Passat Ltd. manufactures DPSS UV lasers with the highest peak power in their class!

Since 1995, Passat has been manufacturing compact, turnkey, nano and picosecond diode-pumped solid-state lasers and related nonlinear optical components. Using innovative designs that exploit solid-state optical phase conjugation, pulse compression and frequency conversion, Passat makes diode-pumped solid-state lasers with harmonics generators and Raman shifters that cover the spectral range from deep UV (213 nm, 266 nm, 355 nm) to eye-safe wavelengths (1.6 µm). Our lasers have been supplied to over 30 countries in the world.

Passat’s UV picosecond lasers enjoy the highest UV peak power among any DPSS lasers. They are being used for processing crystals, diamonds, glass, metals, ceramics, plastics and resins. Customers also use them for photo-mask repair, patterning of organic materials for PV solar, stencils and microfluidics, for picosecond mass-spectrometry. Other applications for these lasers include remote sensing, precise ranging and high-resolution 3D imaging.

Passat sub-nanosecond lasers are ideally suited for MALDI mass spectrometer applications. The more powerful products in the series can also be used for high-resolution photo-acoustic imaging, while the UV versions of these products can be used for Raman Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy. One of Passat’s lasers (1 mJ, 100 Hz, 1064 nm) was included into the Phoenix Martian Mission. This program has successfully completed (see Certificate of Recognition below) and some of the mission results are published in the article J. A.Whiteway, et. al “Mars Water-Ice Clouds and Precipitation”, Science, v.325, 3 July 2009.
