Summary on current laserSummary on current laser
* Finally usable in stability and profile
However: it is stretching its limit ….
* Flash lamps age quickly 10 million shots is the margin we use now
3-weeks of 24-7 operation at 6 HzNeeds careful attention for stable operation at the end
* Laser rods break at about 15 million shots or less Time consumingChanges laser characteristics: divergence, mode size, optical path, etc….
• No room for further improvementEnergy stability, reliability, etc..
