Designed for high power- The Ultra-High Power SLM is designed for performance under high laser power loads.

Active TEC cooling – The UHP SLM includes active thermoelectric cooling to stabilize operating temperature (at lower heat loads) and to combat laser-induced heating at higher temperatures.

Water cooling – The UHP SLM includes a water-cooled copper heat sink with quick-disconnect tubing to connect to an external chiller.

Sapphire coverglass – The high thermal conductivity of the sapphire coverglass allows heat to be directed away from the active area. The SLM housing is designed to thermally contact the coverglass and provide a heat dissipation path into the water-cooled heat sink.

High-temperature liquid crystal – The UHP SLM has a custom liquid crystal formulation that maintains its performance at elevated temperatures, allowing the usable power range of the SLM to be extended.

Real-time temperature reporting – On-chip temperature sensors allow the user to monitor the SLM temperature either through the example program or the software developer kits.

Calibration for high performance at high power – A lookup table calibration kit allows the user to calibrate the SLM at their laser’s wavelength and power level.
