I am looking for a nanosecond pulse laser system for tunable excitation in red and near IR.
Pulse energy 10 – 20mJ can be sufficient with repetition 10 – 20 Hz.
Wavelengths are from about 680 nm (or, better, from 560 nm) up to 900 – 1100nm.
Can you propose something like a pulse laser with OPO or a Nd-YAG+Ti:sapphire set?

 

With reference to your inquiry, please find below the quotation for pulsed tunable laser systems.
