Compact broadly tunable high energy nanosecond Ti:Sapphire laser for photoacoustic applications

We introduce TiSon GS — a family of novel gain-switched Ti:Sapphire lasers. The lasers output up to 1 mJ pulse energies with 5 ns pulse duration and 0.5 nm line width at 1 kHz repetition rate. Wavelength is electronically tuned in the range of 700–920 nm. Random wavelength access is possible with less than 1 ms switching time per any wavelength change.
