Nano PIV

Compact Lasers for PIV Applications

Meet the Nano PIV series, a cutting-edge line of laser systems that are redefining the boundaries of precision measurement. These robust industrial tools are designed to withstand the rigors of heavy use, ensuring uninterrupted performance and minimizing the risk of misalignment or damage. The result? A reliable, high-performance solution that delivers exceptional results time and again.

Litron Lasers | Nano PIV

At the heart of the Nano PIV series lies the PIV head, a precision-crafted masterpiece that forms the foundation of these exceptional laser systems. Constructed from high-grade aluminum, the PIV head is a marvel of engineering, featuring two standard Nano series heads mounted onto a single aluminum gauge-plate. The output beams are combined via dielectric polarisers, then frequency-doubled, and in some models, frequency-tripled, quadrupled, or quintupled, to deliver unparalleled precision and accuracy.

Key features of the Nano PIV series include :

  • Single power supply: Many models are powered by a single power supply unit, making them powerful and portable.
  • Twin power supplies: Options are available for high-energy applications, including the LPU550, which delivers up to 200mJ per pulse at 532nm at 15Hz.
  • Remote controller: Systems can be controlled via a remote controller or RS232 interface for maximum flexibility.
  • TTL compatibility: All trigger and synchronization signals are TTL compatible, ensuring seamless integration with a wide range of equipment.


But don't just take our word for it. The Nano PIV series is backed by rigorous testing and verification, including electronic intracavity safety shutters as standard, to ensure safe and reliable operation. With models available to suit a wide range of applications, including high-speed imaging and metrology, the Nano PIV series is the ultimate choice for scientists and engineers seeking the very best in precision measurement technology.
