Navigator™ LasersD I O D E - P U M P E D S O L I D S T A T E L A S E R S

The Navigator Advantage

• Modular design can be configured to meet anyrequirement

• High uptime

• Double the diode life

• Modular design easy to service in the field

• Lower cost of ownership

• Excellent pulse-to-pulse stability

• User friendly

The versatile Navigator™ family of laser products has a unique modular design thatallows you to combine interchangeable harmonic modules with a variety of DPSS infraredlaser sources. This ensures quick configuration of the laser to exactly match your processrequirements by specifying power, pulse width, wavelength, and repetition rate.Whatever your requirements, there is a Navigator laser that is a perfect fit.

Spectra-Physics® Navigator lasers deliver excellent beam quality and high intensity pulsesover a wide range of operating conditions. Their end-pumped technology produces aGaussian beam profile that can be focused to very small spot sizes. Navigator modelscome in both water- and air-cooled versions.

The Navigator lasers’ reliable, field-proven design make it the ideal tool for many solarand microelectronics applications. The Navigator offers easy serviceability with:

• Field replaceable diodes which last up to double the industry average.

• Unique field replaceable fibers, eliminating the need to rebuild the laser becauseof a bad fiber.

• Unique field replaceable harmonic modules for 532 nm and 355 nm which ensurefewer spares, lower cost of ownership, and shorter mean time to repair (MTTR).

There are Navigator models available with pulse widths as low as 8 ns. Short pulse widthsand high repetition rates enable processing materials at higher speeds with smaller heat-affected zones. Longer pulse Navigator models (up to 105 ns) are also available forapplications such as drilling or rapid material ablation.

Designed for industrial (OEM) applications, Navigator lasers have a robust and compactdesign that enables stable, reliable and hands-free operation in 24/7 industrial environments.Navigator lasers deliver excellent performance for many years.

Navigator™ 1064 nm Lasers

The Navigator 1064 nm standalone lasers are offered with short or long cavity(for a range of pulse widths), Nd:YAG or Nd:YVO4 (for a large range of operatingrepetition rates), and high or low power. When combined with the Spectra-Physics355 nm or 532 nm harmonic modules, the Navigator can be configured to meetmost any process requirement.

The Navigator 1064 nm laser family's competitive advantages are:

• Boresighted infrared beam provides tight positional and angular tolerancesfor ease of integration

• Excellent beam pointing stability means higher accuracy material processing

• Lower cost of ownership, ease of service, and field proven reliability
