HISTERESIS is exclusive representative of Quantel (France/USA) world leader in pulsed solid state lasers (Nd:YAG, ns);

Quantel was founded in 1970 and since then has built up a first-rate worldwide reputation in the field of solid-state lasers.The Quantel group is the leader in the rapidly advancing field of laser technology and we continuously bring to you new products and new technologies as we have been doing for the past 37 years. The Group invests heavily in research and development and this has led to the introduction of numerous innovative and successful new products. Quantel is an international company with Headquarters located in France and subsidiaries in the USA, in Germany and in France. The merger of Quantel and Big Sky Laser Technologiesin 1998, brought about a largely complementary combination of expertise, and products especially as related to the Aerospace and Military applications and markets. The Quantel Groupcontinues to be involved in the design and manufacturing of advanced high-power laser diodes, flash-lamp lasers, diode-pumped pulsed lasers, and fiber-laser solutions for military and aerospace applications. The combined experience in both military and commercial laser design and manufacturing enables Quantel to respond to the demand for Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) technology as used in military systems.



Tunable Laser Systems.To meet the needs of your applications, Quantel also offers a tunable dye laser system (Tunable Dye Laser, TDL90) and an optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Our team of sales engineers will help you select the best laser source according to the exactitude and spectral range your experiment requires. The tunable dye laser is pumped either by the YG980 range or by Brilliant B lasers. Quantel is currently the only laser supplier that offers pump and dye laser integrated on a single optical bench. The mechanical rigidity of the system as a whole guaranties higher stability.

Modular laser systems. Modular' when referring to our lasers means the capacity to place an oscillator and amplifiers of various diameters on the same optical bench so that most user needs can be met. Quantel modular lasers are highly prized by research laboratories because of their high performance in terms of power, beam quality, stability and spectral purity.

Brilliant EaZy, Brilliant & Brilliant B. Brilliant EaZy is a compact, lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser combining a new compact power-supply with the proven Brilliant laser head.The new power-supply/heat exchanger (14kg/ 31lb) occupies half the space of our previous power supply and allows mounting vertically or horizontally. Quick cable disconnects and an easy carrying handle allow the head and power supply to be separated for ease of transport. The coolant reservoir is back lit and will flash to alert the user of a low water condition. Inside, a heating element in the coolant loop actively temperature stabilizes the head and reduces laser warm up time. Just plug into nearly any available wall plug outlet, 90-240VAC, and the Brilliant EaZy is ready for use. The oscillator produces 330mJ @ 1064nm, 5ns, with a high quality beam profile (M2<2). The Brilliant EaZy has excellent energy stability (<2%) and proven field reliability. The Brilliant EaZy features the same harmonic modules and wavelength separation optics as the Brilliant. They couple directly onto the laser head (including the electrical connections) and require no optical realignment.

BRIO .The Brio was designed to meet the future needs of our scientific and industrial customers. Design efforts focused on efficiency, reliability, ease-of-use and maintenance. This compact laser can be supplied with detachable harmonic generator modules. Quantel's Franco-American team has succeeded in making theBrioa reference in Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers.

ULTRA & CFR . The CFR was designed to meet the needs of industrial, scientific and medical applications such as LIDAR, PIV and remote measurement. The system, based on Quantel USA's experience in military defence lasers, was designed for easy use in even the harshest environments.Whether you are looking for a laser to operate in "real-world" applications, or simply looking to free up room on your lab table, the CFR may be your answer CFR Series come equipped with a compact case that includes an air/water cooler and electronics.

Multipulse Laser Systems dedicated to particle imaging velocimetry. A non-intrusive optical measurement technique to measure fluid or particle velocity vectors at many points in a flow field simultaneously. Quantity and quality measurements are usually made in “Planar slices” of the flow field.

Rainbow : Broadband OPO . Rainbow tunable lasers are turnkey systems that use Q-switched Nd:YAG lasers in the Brilliant and Brilliant B series as pump lasers. These pump lasers are doubled, tripled or quadrupled in frequency. All Rainbow systems have 'Magic Prism' OPO from Opotek Inc which converts the YAG laser's wavelengths into a continuously tunable

Fiber laser. World leader on the solid-state laser market, Quantel chose to develop a very promising technology based on fiber laser as active medium. Joining the best world specialists in this field for the systems design, we propose a new line of innovating products reliable and low-cost, and a service close to you. The applications aimed by these products are laser marking first, but also micromachining, drilling, and all the applications which require an optimal beam quality and a perfect repeatability.

Applications

Laser cleaning and surface treatments: Marking, deflashing or cleaning are processes related with variable changes of the surface state of a material.

Laser shockwave generation: By measuring the shockwave induced by a high-energy pulsed laser on the surface of a sample, thickness information or detection presence can be accessed.

PLD:Epitaxial method which give an alternative solution to classical processes and allows the growth of oxyde thin films and superlattices.

CARS: Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering: Caracteristic Raman frequency-shift measurement of high energy laser excited samples. Advantage of the method: to attempt the rota-vibrational structure of the species at ambiant temperature.

CRDS: Cavity Ring Down Spectroscopy: Absorption of a laser beam by a liquid or gas sample in a resonant cavity, to define the chemical composition of simple elements

LIBS: Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy: Qualitative and quantitative non intrusive method based on the analysis of a plasma induced by laser. Applicable on solid, liquid or gas samples.

LIDAR: Light Detection And Ranging: Particle back-scattered laser light is analysed in order to define the atmosphere layers composition in the measurement area.

LIF: Laser Induced Fluorescence: Determination of a solid, liquid or gas sample composition by fluorescence measurement after excitation by a high energy photon (UV - VIS).

Laser marking solutions for OEMs: Direct marking or insulation trough a mask, with a fiber laser or a flashlamp pumped Nd:Yag laser.

Military and space applications: target acquisition, range finding, target designation, collision avoidance, remote sensing, space sensors or secure comunications.

PIV: Particle Image Velocimetry: A non-intrusive optical measurement technique to measure fluid or particle velocity vectors at many points in a flow field simultaneously.
