MegaWatt Lasers

MegaWatt Lasers is an American solid-state laser technology company headquartered in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina. Formed in the 1990s, the company was established to provide solid-state laser consulting, research and development, and manufacturing capabilities. Its laboratory and manufacturing facilities are located in South Carolina, where it produces application-specific solid-state lasers alongside diffuse reflector pump chambers, also known as pump cavities. The company specializes in eye-safe laser technology and manufactures laser pump chambers for a variety of applications covering all solid-state wavelengths. Its pump chamber designs are marketed for high efficiency, reliability, and leak integrity, featuring high-efficiency diffuse reflectors and symmetric radial cooling. MegaWatt Lasers maintains an inventory of standard pump chambers for immediate delivery while offering modular, cost-effective custom solutions. MegaWatt Lasers has developed Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology under numerous supported R&D efforts. Its product portfolio includes pump chambers, resonators, drivers and electronics, and diode-pumped lasers. The company serves OEM and R&D customers, with resonator models available at wavelengths including 1.064 µm Nd:YAG, 1.54 µm Er:Glass, 2.94 µm Er:YAG, 2.13 µm CTH:YAG, 0.71–0.80 µm Alexandrite, 2.08 µm Ho:Cr:Tm:YAG, and 2.79 µm Cr,Er:YSGG. Its ER902 diode-pumped Er:Glass laser is a compact design mainly used for range-finding. MegaWatt Lasers employs a full-time staff of physicists, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, and laser technicians, bringing decades of combined experience in the laser industry. The company holds an ISO 9001:2015 certificate and provides technical services including on-site installation and troubleshooting. It operates as a private company and is not publicly listed.

From its laboratory and manufacturing facilities in South Carolina, the company produces application-specific solid-state lasers and diffuse reflector pump chambers (pump cavities). Over the years, MegaWatt Lasers has developed Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) technology under numerous supported R&D efforts. The company has specialized in eye-safe laser technology and has optimized its pump chamber designs to provide features such as high-efficiency diffuse reflectors and symmetric radial cooling. It maintains an inventory of standard pump chambers for immediate delivery while offering modular custom solutions. The company has worked for over twenty years through many iterations of the Er:Glass diode-pumped laser design, resulting in the ER902, a compact laser mainly used for range-finding. Its resonator designs are intended for OEM and R&D applications and include the flashlamp, pump chamber, laser rod, and optics, and can be set up with a power supply and chiller without additional alignment. MegaWatt Lasers also designs electronics and diagnostic tools, including the KALD-20-10, KALD-20-15, C1938 PCB Diode Driver, C1995 Diode Driver with GUI, KACC-40-10, trigger transformers, and diagnostic and safety boxes.
