More About the G5 Laser
There is currently an “arms race” in solid state laser technology, and there is a lot of junk sold. Our laser is a 2 stack design with a true 10 watt optical output and very, very fine optics, which results in a very small spot size and very high power density. Larger stacks are already available for 20 watt and 36 watt, with 48 watt coming soon. Luckily, the form and electrical factors are somewhat stable, and we expect an easy and relatively inexpensive upgrade path as bigger lasers come available.
