Laser Cooling

Lytron designs and manufactures custom and standard cooling systems, recirculating chillers, cold plates, and heat exchangers for cooling medical and industrial lasers.

High-powered lasers generate a significant amount of heat that must be removed from the laser system to avoid overheating critical components. Laser cooling can help accomplish three goals: maintaining a precise laser wavelength and higher output efficiency, achieving desired beam quality, and reducing thermal stress on a laser system. Recirculating chillers, liquid-to-liquid cooling systems, ambient cooling systems, cold plates, and heat exchangers are a few of the cooling technologies used in laser systems' liquid cooling loops.

Applications include:

• Deep draw presses
• EDM
• Grinding
• Induction heating and ovens
• Lasers: Diode pumped lasers, CO2 – cutting lasers, Nd: Yag-Marking lasers, PCB drilling, Fiber Optic
• Metallurgy
• Polishing
• Spindles
• Testing
• Thermal spray
• Welding
