The vLite-Hi-527 Series<\/strong> from Beamtech Optronics<\/strong> is a family of high-frequency dual-pulse DPSS lasers for demanding Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV)<\/strong>-Applications. The systems were specifically developed for time-resolved flow measurements (TR-PIV) and enable repetition rates of up to 10kHz<\/strong> with simultaneously high pulse stability and excellent beam quality.<\/p>\n

By using high-quality Nd:YLF laser crystals in combination with acousto-optic Q-switch technology, the lasers achieve pulse energies of up to 50 mJ at 1 kHz<\/strong> as well as pulse durations as short as 150 ns<\/strong>. This makes the series suitable for both industrial flow analysis and scientific high-speed measurements.<\/p>\n

The vLite-Hi-527 series was specifically developed for time-resolved flow analyses, where high frame rates and stable pulse parameters are crucial. The lasers operate with two synchronized laser cavities and produce at a wavelength of 527 nm<\/strong> Short, energy- and time-stable laser pulses for modern high-speed PIV systems.<\/p>\n

Unlike classic low-frequency PIV lasers, the series allows continuously adjustable repetition rates between 0.2 and 10 kHz<\/strong>. This also allows for the capture of highly dynamic flow processes with high temporal resolution.<\/p>\n

Beamtech uses a high-quality Nd:YLF laser crystal with an acousto-optic Q-switch. The specially designed resonator geometry ensures energy stability of up to 1 % RMS<\/strong>, low power drift, and excellent matching of the two laser cavities. Additionally, a timing jitter of less than 3 ns<\/strong> and a pointing stability of less than 20 urad<\/strong> reproducible measurement results.<\/p>\n

To ensure safe operation, the system features numerous built-in safety mechanisms, including light path interlocks, power supply interlocks, flow monitoring, emergency stop, and enclosure monitoring. An optional integrated light arm with light-section optics facilitates integration into existing PIV measurement systems.<\/p>\n

Available Models<\/h2>\n

The vLite-Hi-527 Series<\/strong> is available in four performance levels and covers a wide range of time-resolved PIV applications:<\/p>\n
