Based on many years experience in the design and manufacture of diode-pumped solid-state lasers, JENOPTIK Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH has taken modern frequency conversion techniques on board in the last few years to additionally offer solid-state lasers in the visible wavelength region for show applications.
Compared to traditional laser beam sources, frequency-converting solid-state lasers provide substantial advantages in the demonstration business. These are mainly:

	Considerably lower operating and maintenance costs
	Very compact design style
	Easier handling
	No more external cooling water supply
	Low mains power supply requirements (no three-phase supply necessary)
	High efficiency
	Long lifetime
	Profitable price-performance ratio.

Due to these benefits, frequency-converting solid-state lasers of the JenLas.® D2 series increasingly replace the traditional, more costly ion lasers.
