With the DS series, Rofin has launched the latest technology for solid state lasers. For the next generation of industrial YAG systems, the diode pumped disc laser features the best combination of power, beam quality and efficiency available. The DS and DY Series are the result of many years experience with solid-state technology, and the production of high-power laser diode modules. The DS Series has a diode lifetime in excess of 10,000 hours, wall plug efficiencies of better than 10%, and small fiber diameters, for the highest working distances and smallest spot sizes. These diode-pumped Yb:YAG lasers are a reliable and economical production tool that will be used in a wide range of industrial applications.
