* Lee Laser * Chicago Laser * EO Laser PLT stocks high quality, long life lamps for many commercial Nd:YAG laser systems. Lamps are fully tested, and are drop-in replacements for the laser systems listed below. Flashlamps belong to a family of light producing devices tha either operate in a pulse mode (flash) or CW (continuous arc). For solid state laser pumping, all lamps regardless of mode of operation are manufactured from tungsten and quartz. Terminations may be electrical connectors manufactured from stainless steel, nickel-plated copper/brass, or copper lead wires either nickel of silver-plated. The lead wires may be insulated with silicone tubing, PTFE or heat shrink. Additionally RTV silicone agents may be incorporated for water/electrical sealing. Quartz is used to form the envelope (gas containment) and tungsten the electrode (electrical feed through and arc attachment). To produce the desired spectrum, the lamps are filled with an inert gas(xenon or krypton) at pressures from half an atmosphere (negative pressure) to several atmospheres (positive pressure). No mercury is used in the maanufacture of filling of flashlamps.
