(Coherent Inc.: Santa Clara, CA) -- The new MATRIX 532-8-100 is a Q-switched, diode pumped, solid state laser designed to deliver the best cost-to-performance ratio for demanding micromachining tasks in solar, semiconductor, and medical device manufacturing.

Specifically, it provides 8 W of output power at 532 nm at a pulse rate of 100 kHz to support high-throughput applications. Just as important, it is constructed using Coherent’s unique PermAlign (soldered) component mounting technology using robotic assembly methods, and incorporates proven, long-life components such as aluminum-free active area (AAA) pump diodes. Together, these factors deliver an unmatched combination of long lifetime, high reliability, and low total cost of ownership. The MATRIX 532-8-100 is compliant to the RoHS directive, concerning the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment, and backed by an 18 month/10,000 hour warranty.
