A powerful, stable light source is the prerequisite for high-contrast particle images and accurate vector calculation. However, selecting a laser is not just about raw power; it is about finding the perfect synchronization between the light source and your camera sensor.
We provide a selection of high-performance laser systems from leading global manufacturers, chosen for their reliability and beam quality. Since not every laser pairs effectively with every camera, our expertise ensures you receive a fully synchronized, safe, and optimized setup tailored to your specific measurement needs. Our portfolio is categorized into three distinct performance classes to match your experimental requirements:
We provide a selection of high-performance laser systems from leading global manufacturers, chosen for their reliability and beam quality. Since not every laser pairs effectively with every camera, our expertise ensures you receive a fully synchronized, safe, and optimized setup tailored to your specific measurement needs. Our portfolio is categorized into three distinct performance classes to match your experimental requirements:
- Standard PIV (Low Repetition): These high-energy systems are the workhorses of fluid mechanics, delivering powerful pulses (typically ~200 mJ) at repetition rates up to 50 Hz. They are ideal for capturing crystal-clear snapshots of flow structures in large fields of view or when using smaller tracer particles that require intense illumination to be visible.
- Mid-Range PIV: Bridging the gap between standard and high-speed imaging, these lasers offer a perfect balance of speed and power. With repetition rates around 200 Hz and stable pulse energies up to 100 mJ, they allow for significantly higher data throughput without sacrificing the light intensity needed for precise vector calculation in challenging flows.
- Time-Resolved PIV (High Speed): Designed for capturing transient events and turbulence evolution, these systems push the limits of temporal resolution. Starting at 500 Hz and scaling up to 20 kHz, they provide the speed necessary to fully resolve dynamic flows. Despite the extreme frame rates, they maintain optimized pulse energies (typically ~30 mJ) to ensure sufficient signal strength for accurate time-resolved analysis.
