Abstract
Quantel USA has leveraged decades of experience designing high power pulsed solid state lasers for military and industrial applications to advance the SWaP-C in the 100mJ laser class. The ShrikeTM laser has increased power output per unit volume by more than 2x compared to the closest competitor, at greater than 7mW/cm3. Diode pumping ensures maximum uptime for use in high-rate manufacturing that require continuous emission, with months or years between service cycles. This architecture is also deployed into military environments, and has the requisite environmental ruggedization and hardening, which high reliability industrial applications can benefit from.
