Laser and Tube Design
The p100/150 is a pulsed 100/150-watt laser based on NOVANTA® popular t-Series laser developed using
new technology patented by NOVANTA. While the average power of the p100 is similar to the ti100 at
100 W, the p100’s peak pulsed output power is typically 400 W and the p150’s peak pulsed output
power is 600 W. The p150 laser is based on the p100 design, providing 50% more power by increasing
the resonator length. The p150 uses a hybrid waveguide/unstable resonator design with a sophisticated
beam conditioning system to pro-duce a symmetrical beam. This high peak power in combination with a
maximum duty cycle of 37.5% provides high-intensity, short duration pulses that are excellent for
minimizing the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) on many materials.

Warning: Possible Equipment Damage
Operating the laser at coolant temperatures above 22 °C (72 °F) may result in decreased
performance and/or premature failure of electronic components.
Contamination on the laser’s output window (or on any beam delivery optic) can absorb enough
energy to damage optical components in the beam path. Periodically inspect the p100/150’s output
window and all other beam delivery optics for signs of contaminants and then carefully clean as
required. In dirty environments, purge laser optics using filtered air or nitrogen to prevent vapor and
debris from accumulating on optical surfaces.
