ALL-IN-ONE LASER IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
The Spectra-Physics Explorer® XP is the world’s first compact 5 W all-in-one green laser that
combines laser head and power supply into a single package that fits in the palm of your hand.
With the industry’s smallest footprint, light 3 kg weight, air-cooled design and rugged
construction, the Explorer XP laser is simple to integrate into machine tools and is ideal for use
on a moving gantry.
The Explorer XP Advantage
• Unique It's in the Box™ design – at least 7x smaller than any
competitive product
• Lightweight – less than 3 kg makes this an ideal laser for use
on a moving gantry
• Short pulse width and high peak power – ideal for marking or
selective ablation
• Gaussian beam with typical M2 of <1.1 up to 300 kHz
• Pulse energy stability of <3% for stable manufacturing
processes
• Power adjustability from 40–100% for optimum laser
performance
• Single pulse energy measurements up to 300 kHz
The Explorer XP laser delivers exceptional performance including short pulse width for minimum
heat affected zone, unmatched pulse-to-pulse stability and superior beam quality. It operates
across a wide repetition rate range from single shot up to 300 kHz. With its short laser resonator
cavity, Explorer XP lasers produce high peak powers that in some materials can outperform
higher average power green lasers. The superior mode quality (M2 <1.1 typical) over the full
repetition-rate range leads to improved spatial resolution and larger depth-of-focus. The
Spectra-Physics patented intra-cavity design enables efficient conversion to the green, resulting
in the highest pulse-to-pulse stability for consistent processing and higher yields.
Based on the proven Explorer architecture, the Explorer XP laser is rugged and highly reliable for
demanding 24/7 applications. All optical components are soldered in place to ensure
exceptional ruggedness and durability in harsh operating environments. No solder flux is used,
thereby minimizing organic contaminants that can degrade laser performance. Explorer XP lasers
are tested to endure bare product shock and vibration with accelerations of up to 100 g.
Additionally, the system can be operated using TTL and analog control signals. Real-time pulse
energy values are available on the integrated Analog Port. For applications that rely on the
synchronization of multiple lasers, the Explorer XP laser toffers a dedicated port to operate
multiple lasers synchronously or with precisely separated laser pulses.
With its tiny footprint, ease of integration, exceptional performance, rugged and reliable
construction and versatile features, the Explorer XP is the ultimate, air-cooled 532 nm
DPSS solution.
