Features and applications:

  • High thermal shock resistance

Alexandrite not only endure high temperature, but even achieve higher laser gain and efficiency under elevated temperature . The Alexandrite provided possesses excellent thermo-mechanical and thermo-optical properties. Comparing to Nd:YAG, the thermal shock resistance of Alexandrite is five times higher.

  • High damage threshold

The Alexandrite rod provided by Shalom EO have a high damage threshold that enables the rod to withstand >1.5million pulses.

  • Excellent for 755nm long pulsed, Q-Switched or pico second lasers

Hangzhou Shalom offers customized Alexandrite laser crystals favorable for 755nm long pulsed,  Q-switched or pico second lasers, you could also get the complementary 755nm Pockels Cells in Shalom EO. This wavelength could be thoroughly absorbed by the hairs as well as melanin, making it favorable for aesthetic laser systems.

  • Hair removal machines or Tattoo removal systems

In the Case of hair removal, Alexandrite laser is a better choice than diode laser for people with lighter skin, however for people with dark skin tone diode laser might be the only option since Alexandrite laser has a higher potential of causing damage to darker skin.Comparing to Nd:YAG laser, Alexandrite laser is advantageous for poeple with lighter hair, and in terms of tolerability, it is generally found to be less painful than the Nd:YAG.

Tattoos can be removed by applying light which can be absorbed by the used ink, which is then chemically transformed and subsequently removed by the body. Q-switched short pulse Alexandrite laser is favorable for small ink particles.
