Spectra Physics - Chroma 10

This mixed gas mid frame ion laser is ideal for larger venues and outdoor events.

Chroma 10 lasers are built to last featuring Spectra-Physics' long-life plasma tube technology, ultra-rugged construction, proprietary low-loss optical coating technology, and exceptionally durable power supplies - making the Chroma 10 the industry standard for ultra-long life and very low maintenance.

Features

  • Polarised output enables efficient coupling with PCAOMs for maximum performance
  • Ultra-compact, lightweight laser head for easy transportation
  • Convenient quick-disconnect umbilical between laser head and power supply for ease of transport and setup
  • Top adjustable outrigger feet for convenient, easily accessible height adjustment
  • Chroma 10 operates directly on 400-VAC, 3-phase power, eliminating the need for a line transformer in Europe and Asia
  • Silver-mesh active catalyst in the sealed intracavity spaces eliminates the need for purging, ensuring years of maintenance-free operation
  • Patented Stabilite® resonator design provides rapid warm-up and superb power and beam pointing stability enhancing the quality, repeatability, and overall productivity of your application
  • Patented Q-M Endbell technology eliminates Brewster window contamination, ensuring the cleanest laser mode and highest output power over the entire life of the tube
  • Patented switched-resistor power supply technology provides more reliable performance in less space by having fewer active components
  • Automatic gas fill system continuously monitors and optimises gas fill pressure for consistent colour balance, maximum power output, and longest tube life
  • Hand-held remote control units provide complete, simple laser control and performance feedback from almost any convenient location
  • Complete computer control available through RS-232 or IEEE-488 interface for remote or automated operation
