Quantel has introduced a new diode-pumped Nd:YAG pulsed laser with active Q-switching. With high-efficiency diode pumping, the laser provides a combination of high output energy and high repetition rate. The Merion C laser, unlike the previously introduced Merion MW laser, has a hermetically sealed resonator which ensures extremely high immunity to ambient conditions, high stability and long lifetime of all components. On the other hand, there is no possibility to change the output wavelength (again unlike the Merion MW laser).
