Industrial Flash Lamps for Laser Systems

First Light Lamps Ltd manufactures xenon flash lamps for industrial laser systems. Since 2004, we’ve produced precision flash lamp components for laser manufacturers worldwide. Our lamps power industrial processes including welding, cutting, engraving, and cleaning.
We manufacture over 2,000 different xenon and krypton lamps for established systems.

How Our Flash Lamps Work

Our industrial flash lamps provide energy to power solid-state lasers, most commonly Nd:YAG systems. The process is simple:
  1. Flash lamp activation – High-voltage electrical discharge creates intense broadband light

  2. Energy absorption – Laser medium atoms absorb flash lamp energy and transition to higher energy states
  3. Photon emission – As atoms return to lower energy states, they release photons of specific wavelengths
  4. Amplification – Photons bounce between reflective surfaces, undergoing stimulated emission amplification
  5. Coherent beam output – Results in a powerful, focused laser beam ideal for industrial processes
This optical pumping process is essential for modern industrial laser systems.
