Q-SHIFT is family of Q-switched lasers with build-in nonlinear wavelength conversion stage that allows to produce wavelengths that are not accessible with conventional solid-state laser sources. As pump sources our Nd:YAG or Nd:YLF lasers of Q2 or Q2HE series are used.
The wavelengths and pulse energies available is shown in picture below.
High peak intensity pulses at visible wavelengths (blue, yellow and red) are provided when Q-SHIFT laser is combined with our attachable SHG or stand-alone H-SMART harmonic generator.
Applications of laser include LCD repair, Laser Dermatology, eye-safe LiDAR and many others.
Laser functionality can be further extended by wide range of auxiliary equipment:
- Attachable second harmonic generator, model SHG.
- Stand-alone up to fifth harmonic generators of H-SMART series.
- Attachable motorized attenuator for fundamental wavelength.
- Attachable pulse energy monitor with analog and/or digital output.
- Stand-alone two-channel pulse generator for smoothly variable pulse repetition rate, burst, double-pulse and other user-configurable modes of operation.
Laser specifications tables for 1163/1177 nm, 1300/1317nm, 1551/1571 nm versions are presented below.

- 1. Due to continuous improvements all specifications are subject to change. Unless stated otherwise all specifications are measured at fundamental wavelength and maximum pulse repetition rate. The parameters marked typical are not specifications. They are indications of typical performance and will vary with each unit we manufacture.
2. xx in the model name sets laser repetition rate, for example Q-SHIFT-W1177-B100 laser will have factory-set 100 Hz pulse repetition rate.
3. Depend on pump laser wavelength.
4. Standard factory-set repetition rates are 10 Hz, 20 Hz, 33 Hz, 50 Hz and 100 Hz. Specify required pulse repetition rate when ordering, for example -D50 would mean laser with 50 Hz pulse repetition rate.
5. At FWHM level at fundamental wavelength, measured with 350 ps rise time photodiode.
6. Measured during 30 seconds operation after warm-up.
7. Over 8 hour period after 20 minutes of warm-up when ambient temperature variation is less than ±2 °C.
8. Full angle measured at the 4σ level.
9. Beam diameter is measured 20 cm from laser output at the 4σ level.
10. In respect to falling edge of pump diode triggering pulse.
11. Q-SHIFT is compatible with our attachable second harmonic generator (model SHG) and stand-alone H-SMART harmonics generator. Pulse energies presented here are maximum values. Please refer to harmonic generator datasheet for detailed specifications.
12. Laser housing size depends on average power at output wavelength.
13. Power adapter dimensions might differ from indicated here, depending on model.
14. Laser can be powered from appropriate 12 or 28 VDC power source. Please inquire for details.
