Description of Payload
The miniSystem payload contains multi-wavelength laser optics assemblies for beam control, the
miniJewel laser head, a beam combining assembly, and the payload system controller. The laser
head includes a 1064nm laser with an attached nonlinear module which converts the 1064nm (IR)
laser output to 532nm (GRN), 355nm (UV), or 266nm (DUV). The laser features a ruggedized
sealed housing designed for ease of maintenance and reliable operation. The laser beam control
optics modify the output of the laser head providing wavelength selection, energy control, beam
sizing, and beam shaping. The payload also contains a Laser System Control (LSC) card, which
provides an interface to the user and control of all the motorized optic modules contained within the
payload. This box also contains the input ports for USB communications from a user supplied
computer or SMART controller, an external trigger, an external interlock, and sync out signal.
Description of the miniJewel Laser
The miniJewel is a conductively cooled 1064 nm diode pump laser with 8 mJ of nominal output
power. The miniJewel is a self-contained laser housing the diode driver.
