Introduction: Nd:YAG Laser
This is the Nd:YAG laser cavity i assembled and it have 50W output at 1066nm.
The pics are from YAG module, the heart of laser. The module have inside three 20W laser diode that pump a Nd:YAG rod , the module is assembled betwen two mirror mount with mirror 100% reflective behind and 80% to output as any laser. The module is powered by a driver and colled with a water chiller.
Step 1: Components
This is the Nd:YAG laser cavity i assembled and it have 50W output at 1066nm.
The pics are from YAG module, outside and inside, the heart of laser.
The module have inside three 20W laser diode that pump a Nd:YAG rod , the module is assembled betwen two mirror mount with mirror 100% reflective behind and 80% to output as any laser. The module is powered by a driver and colled with a water chiller.
Step 2: Assembling
This is the first assembling, over an acrylic base and after over an aluminium base.
Step 3: Videos From Test.
First video is the first alignment test. the second vídeo is the cavity full assemble with beam expander and lens head.
