UV Lasers Overview
Ultraviolet (UV) lasers offer extremely high photon energy which opens up a wide range of applications which can’t be addressed by visible and infrared laser sources. The most common UV laser sources are the third and fourth harmonics on Nd: YAG providing 355 nm and 266 nm wavelengths respectively. It’s important to point out that while 355 nm and 266 nm are the most common UV laser wavelengths, there are also several other Nd: YAG lines that can be doubled and tripled to produce a wide variety of UV wavelengths. To achieve these higher order harmonics, the electric field density of the laser must be extremely high, as a result, these lasers are only available with q-switched lasers. Continuous wave (CW) UV laser diodes also available at 375 nm, with both single-mode and multi-mode beam profiles, and with either free space or fiber coupled outputs. OEM UV laser packages and UV laser modules are available for both ultraviolet laser diodes and q-switched UV lasers.
The Aero Series is a high-energy DPSS laser that operates at less than 15 nanoseconds and with average power up to 200mJ at 1064nm and 100mJ at 532nm. All models come enclosed in an extremely compact and ruggedized single unit with a conductively cooled heatsink with a water-cooled option. It comes with available options for beam expanding and collimating optics. This new laser series is ideal for applications like LIBS, spectroscopy, and Atmospheric LIDAR.
MicroMake Series from Bright System is an integrated compact laser micromachining system for high precision and resolution applications such as ablation and cutting of programmable arbitrary shapes. The sub-nanosecond MicroMake series is a flexible platform capable of >35kW of peak power and processing speeds up to 40mm/second. The system includes all the needed devices for direct laser micro-processing in a single monolithic air-cooled configuration. Live microscope imaging of the sample is offered during all process phases for alignment and immediate quality check. All these features perfectly suit a large variety of materials utilized in the fields of microelectronic circuits, displays fabrication and correction, biomedical device machining and optical substrates microprocessing.
