Passat Ltd. moved recently to a new facility with larger laboratory space! This will expand our manufacturing capacity and help us deliver our products to you faster.
Please, check our web page for the new address.
The SubNaples MINI, a sales leader for a reason: Its #UV version (355 nm) is a #picosecond (270 ps pulsewidth) #laser with >17 microJoules/pulse and 1% pulse-to-pulse stability (1hr run). Compact, with great beam quality - its price is a pleasant surprise. passatltd.com/sub-nanosecond…
Our team is expanding, come join our ranks!

#Hiring! A team player with a steady hand and #laser focus on excellence, willing to learn the ropes of becoming a successful #laboratory technician and more. Attitude and persistence trump experience and talent.
A shorter-pulse version of the SubNaples MINI #laser now available! Only 270 ps #FWHM at 355 nm. All, while preserving a great beam quality, excellent #stability at ~80% of the original energy per pulse. An #affordable #laser for time-resolved #science and #technology.
The compact SubNaples MINI #laser is now more #powerful, stable and affordable than ever. How about getting 100 μJ per 1064 nm pulse, 1000 times a second with pulse-to-pulse #stability better than 0.8%, from a #laser that measures only 197x63x63 mm. passatltd.com/sub-nanosecond…

#Germicidal use of pulsed #UV #lasers?
High peak power - one of the key features of Passat’s family of #picosecond #lasers, especially at short #UV wavelengths (266 nm, 213 nm). The #UVC #virus killing range. passatltd.com/dpss-picosecon…
Industrial DPSS picosecond lasers compared:
You don't use a cannon to kill a mosquito but are there #germicidal irradiation applications where the more expensive, intense, highly directional UVC laser beam would have an edge over an #UVC #LED array with similar average power? Any ideas? #UV lamps excluded as unsafe.
The #yellow Compiler MINI at 599 nm (well, technically #orange) is a lean and mean #picosecond #laser. Pulse-to-pulse stability at 500 Hz is less than 4%. The best part – each 30 µJ pulse is only 15 ps wide. Great for #fluorescent tag excitation, #FLIM and other biomedical uses.
NEW! The Compiler MINI 599 nm #yellow #picosecond #laser brings a new #wavelength to the Compiler series and power to spare. Whopping 30 µJ #energy per #pulse, up to 500 Hz repetition rate and pulsewidth of 15 ps, in a tiny laser head of 230x110x65 mm. passatltd.com/compiler-mini-…

The boilerplate requirements are in force, i.e. work under pressure, tight deadlines, be the best team player and an all-around perfect human being. So bring forward your best behavior and join a most peculiar bunch o’geeks.
Meet the SubNaples Micro, a tiny #laser packing a punch!
The "NE" version boasts truly "wireless" laser head - it is completely devoid of electrical wires and signals - connected to the pump module with only an #optical #fiber. High EMI? No problem!passatltd.com/subnanosecond-…

The Compiler picosecond series of #lasers (passatltd.com/compiler-picos…) are excellent for #LIFT: jlps.gr.jp/jlmn/upload/0ed7b…
The OLA (laser altimeter) supplied by @csa_asc is delivering #laser ranging data from #asteroid #Bennu! Passat Ltd. is happy to have provided the design for one of the OLA #lasers. Congrats Prof. Daly, @MDA_maxar, @csa_asc and @NASA. About our lasers: passatltd.com
The first 3D lidar map of asteroid #Bennu created by Canada’s OLA instrument has just been released! OLA fired over 11 million laser pulses to create this detailed shape model: ow.ly/MQeS30oknVh.

Nice article. Among other things confirms the value of UV picosecond lasers for micromachining both metals and dielectrics with low HAZ (fig. 10 for example ). UV lasers with high energy per pulse and pulsewidth of a few picoseconds: passatltd.com/dpss-picosecon…

#WelcomeToBennu, @OSIRISREx! Looks like the science mission has begun in earnest. We at Passat are proud to have made a modest contribution to the OSIRIS-REx Laser Altimeter (OLA), a key component on this mission. Congrats Prof. Daly, @MDA_maxar, @csa_asc and @NASA....
Quick tour of my science instruments:

... With the @OSIRISREx OLA operational, there are now two #lasers that Passat has either built or has influenced the design of, roaming the solar system, on their respective space mission. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoeni…
Can a #laser drill a 10-micron hole through 2 mm of material? Our lasers can! Yes, that is a micro-hole with aspect ratio of 200! Read more about the Compiler series of #picosecond #lasers drilling through Cu-clad PTFE: passatltd.com/passat-picosec…
