Notes
1. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
2. Performance required of the host laser:
a. A high degree of mechanical stability
b. Single transverse mode
c. Entry point for the seed light (rear mirror, polarizer)
d. <10mJ per pulse returned along the seed entry path
3. The minimum repetition rate for seeding is 4 Hz.
4. Lightwave Electronics seed laser systems are manufactured under one or more of the
following patents: 4578793, 4455657, 4734912, 4749642, and/or 4797896.
