TESTIMONIALS

"I work at Eye Clinic, Leipzig University. Our laboratory develops different methods of diagnostics and therapy of cancers using lasers as light sources.
We have been using the lasers of SOLAR LS company for about 10 years already. We started our cooperation by purchasing a laser system comprising a CW-Q-Sw Nd:YAG and Ti:Sapphire lasers. This equipment has been in constant use ever since and proved to be highly efficient and reliable.
Since then, we have worked with different kinds of SOLAR LS products, such as Nd:YAG laser systems with Harmonic Generators, OPO systems, Ti:Sapphire lasers and others and have always been satisfied with their performance.
As SOLAR Laser Systems keeps developing new laser models to meet the demands of the modern market, follows new scientific investigations and applies new technologies in its products, we can perform different kinds of experiments and develop new methods of treatment using new SOLAR LS devices. We are also satisfied with the professional level and term of service maintenance provided by SOLAR LS.
It should also be noted that SOLAR LS is indeed customer-oriented and always provides quick and efficient feed-back.
So, I strongly recommend to use the equipment manufactured by this company."

"I am with the institute of Laser-Physics of the Hamburg University. The research profile of our group is related mainly with development of new materials for efficient solid state lasers. For this purpose a lot of stationary and time resolved spectroscopic measurements are necessary in order to determine parameters relevant for laser operation and to identify possible loss mechanisms. Furthermore, first laser characterization of this material is carried out by using commercially available tunable laser systems in the continuous wave and pulsed mode as excitation sources. Since several years among other things we are using for such measurements an OPO system (optical parametric oscillator) produced by the SOLAR LS company. This OPO operates reliable with good output stability, beam quality and pointing stability. Furthermore, the OPO is characterized by a large tuning range with comparatively high pulse energy also still close the limit of the tuning curves. Due to our positive experience we did order a second OPO system form SOLAR LS and received it in May 2005. The new OPO is equipped additionally with a frequency doubling unit for the signal wave. Thus, the tuning range is extended into the UV range. Referring my experiences with OPO laser systems from SOLAR LS to date I can recommend them as devices which are easy to operate with high reliability suitable for many scientific, medical and industrial applications. Last but not least it should be mentioned that there is quite an optimum proportion between quality and price."

"I am leading a small research group. At the moment, my team consists of 3 PhD students, one post-doc, a technician and myself. Our research concerns optical and photonic properties of semiconductor and semiconductor-derived materials, and currently focuses on Er-doped Si nanostructures and GaN layers. In our investigations laser equipment plays a crucial role. Among a variety of lasers we use also two systems manufactured by Solar LS.
The first comprises an OPO pumped with the third harmonics of the Nd:YAG and provides nanosecond light pulses in the visible to near-infrared (2.2 mm) range. In the 1.5 mm wavelength, which is of special interest to our studies, it generated up to 4.5 mJ energy per pulse. The system has been commissioned 4 years ago and is in constant use ever since. It is a truly reliable laboratory workhorse. The second machine has been recently installed and is still in the running-in period. It is a novel and rather unique configuration consisting of a high power Nd:YAG operating at the basal frequency, and double OPO system with a mid-infrared output of the target wavelength range between 9 and 17 μm. In order to perform experiments in that range we had to go to the free-electron laser facility. Now we hope to be able to perform these experiments at home, using our new table-top system from SOLAR LS."

The field of my scientific interests is atmospheric research by means of laser probing methods. We use Nd:YAG laser model LQ514 of SOLAR Laser Systems as one of laser sources. Tropospheric and stratospheric aerosol is measured at 532nm probing wavelength. For such measurements this wavelength is standardized at most of the LIDAR observatories around the world, which allows to compare optical characteristics of the atmosphere aerosol layer in different geographical points. Energy per pulse of 105mJ at 532nm provides registration by a 0.3m dia mirror of LIDAR signals back reflected by atmosphere at heights up to 50km, i.e. the complete atmosphere column is measured. 2.2m dia receiving mirror allows to concurrently register signals of molecular back scattering at 532nm wavelength at heights range of 30…80km and signals of Raman scattering of molecular nitrogen at 607nm at heights range of 10…30km. This allows to determine continuous vertical temperature profile for heights range of about 10…75km.
We have been using the LQ514 laser since the year 2000 on average for 4 hours 2-3 times a week. The laser showed high reliability and easiness in operation. We carry out only the necessary routine maintenance works. The laser is being used both in stationary conditions and also in conditions of field measurements (like, for example, aboard a motor ship).

"We bought an OPO laser system from the SOLAR LS company in 2001. It consists of a Nd:YAG Laser (Model LQ129) with Third Harmonic Generator (Model LG103) and a LP601 OPO system. The nanosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used as a pump source of the OPO. It is run at 20Hz repetitive rate. The laser has been working in our lab for four years. It is used in the investigation of optical characteristics of organic and biological materials. To my experience, the laser is stable and easy to use. It can meet our major research works. The price of the laser has much advantage compared with other similar products. I am also very satisfied with the service of the company.
