Er:YAG DPSS laser technology enables precision where it matters most.

Cutting Edge Optronics has expanded its DPSS portfolio with newly developed Er:YAG laser modules, optimized for medical and scientific applications at the 2.94 μm wavelength.

This wavelength aligns with strong water absorption, enabling highly precise tissue interaction with minimal thermal damage, critical for applications such as dermatology, dentistry, and orthopedic procedures.

Two configurations demonstrate scalable performance:

RBAT platform – compact, high-repetition-rate operation

REA platform – high-energy output (>1 J pulse energy) for demanding applications

Both designs leverage CEO’s vertically integrated diode pumping and proven module architecture, delivering efficient energy scaling, stable performance, and long operational lifetimes.

New 1064 nm laser diodes are raising the bar for hair removal performance.

In aesthetic laser systems, treatment outcomes don’t start at the hand piece, they start at the diode array. Wavelength selection, power stability, pulse control, and thermal management all play a critical role in efficacy, safety, and system longevity.

In our latest blog, we take a closer look at why 1064 nm diode technology continues to be the gold standard for treating darker skin types, and how advances in diode stack design are improving consistency, uptime, and ROI for device manufacturers.

Key topics include:
✔️ Why 1064 nm offers deeper pe*******on with lower melanin absorption
✔️ The relationship between power, fluence, and pulse duration
✔️ How cooling architecture directly impacts diode lifetime and reliability

At Cutting Edge Optronics, our vertically integrated approach allows us to engineer high-power diode arrays optimized for real-world clinical and commercial demands.
