November 21, 2023 - Microvec, a developer of analytical systems used in fluid mechanics, has released the most affordable PIV laser system available. This new double pulse laser is being manufactured by Microvec sp. z o.o. in their Poland factory.

Mr. Wojciech Majewski, Managing Director of Microvec, explains the rationale for offering this new model: “For many years PIV lasers have been prohibitively expensive and often out of reach for many researchers, denying them the possibility to conduct valuable experiments. We hope that this affordable laser will open new doors and offer many more academic institutions a chance to buy the lasers they need to conduct experimental research in fluid mechanics.” He adds, “This is only one of the three PIV lasers models designed and manufactured by Microvec in Poland, all three of them offering a moderate price level.”

The laser is designed by Microvec Poland’s engineering team, who have over 20 years of experience in designing flash lamp Q-switched lasers. At the price of 19,950 USD, the user gets a modern dual cavity, double pulse Nd:YAG laser with 60 mJ pulse energy and 25 Hz per cavity with excellent features. These features include a pulse length of 7 to 10 ns, divergence of less than 3 degrees and pulse stability below 2%. The laser comes with a touch screen remote control for easy operation and optional light sheet optics.

The laser can be matched with modern CCD or CMOS cameras operating with 50 fps or more and in combination with a PIV system, allowing the capture of 25 instantaneous velocity fields per second.
