PRESS RELEASE

Date: 20th May 2016

Title: Continuous improvements drive innovation

Laser Quantums continuous improvement programme brings innovation to

the finesse laser

Stockport, UK: Since its launch in 2005, the ever-popular finesse laser has been
through a number of technical upgrades that have seen the available power output
increase from 4 W at 532 nm with a 0.5% noise, to 16 W with a significant reduction in
noise level, 0.02%, and the ability to accept f-to-2f interferometer signal for pump
modulation in CEP applications. As part of Laser Quantums continuous improvement
programme, it has released the next generation of the finesse laser, which will benefit
from increased robustness, leading to the very best beam pointing and power output
stability available. With a five year warranty, field replaceable diodes, user on-screen
optimisation and remote connection, the latest members of the finesse family will
continue to drive innovative research through world-leading specifications combined
with dependable reliability.
John Shakos, Product Manager at Laser Quantum said, The continuous improvement
programme at Laser Quantum has enabled us to add new innovative features to our
lasers and offer exceptional specifications to our customer at every design review.
Striving to improve specifications is part of our ethos and the development of the power
output and reduction in noise is incredible. However, we wont stop here as we are
always looking for the next world-leading innovative development.

Highly efficient and compact, this laser is easily integrated into all commercially
available Ti:Sapphire oscillator and amplifier systems and boasts lifetimes far
exceeding the industry standard. The diode lifetime is greater than 40,000 hours,
double that of many similar lasers and has the added advantage of higher wall plug
efficiency and minimal heat output.
