On January 30, IPG Photonics, an American fiber laser giant, announced the launch of three deep UV lasers.
These three new deep ultraviolet lasers have proprietary nonlinear crystals, which can provide industry-leading reliability for many industries and micro-processing applications, and bring more powerful and flexible solutions than lasers using traditional frequency conversion materials. IPG Photonics will display these new deep ultraviolet laser products at Photonics West 2023.
The following is the parameter information of these three deep ultraviolet lasers:
1) 3W continuous wave 266 nm single-frequency fiber laser, for detection, lithography, FBG writing, disk reprinting and spectroscopy applications.
2) 5W nanosecond pulsed fiber laser (wavelength 266 nm), pulse rate 1.5 ns, up to 2 μ J. Designed for micro-cutting, drilling, texturing, marking and selective material removal on challenging materials such as glass, diamond and Teflon.
3) 5W picosecond pulsed fiber laser (wavelength 257 nm), pulse rate 1 ps, up to 5 μ J. It can be used for micro-cutting, drilling and selective material removal in PCB, flexible circuit, LED and flat panel display applications.
Deep UV lasers enable manufacturers in the electronics, display, semiconductor and medical industries to seek higher tool and process accuracy while maintaining industrial standards of reliability and uptime.
Continuous innovation to provide industry-leading deep UV reliability
IPG combines world-class vertical manufacturing and continuous technological innovation, and incorporates the unique nonlinear crystal robustness into these lasers, giving the products excellent reliability and product life. The fiber architecture of IPG new deep ultraviolet laser provides an easy to integrate, compact and lightweight optical head, which is connected to a compact laser source. Small and flexible shape, very suitable for integration with micro-machining and material processing workstations.
Improve the performance and application range of deep ultraviolet laser source
Trevor Ness, senior vice president of global sales and strategic business development of IPG, said: "We have successfully pushed deep ultraviolet lasers to new reliable power, which is due to IPG's proprietary nonlinear crystal technology, which is more robust and flexible than traditional frequency conversion materials. These lasers are the latest examples of IPG innovation, providing our customers with new functions and flexibility to improve the current processing technology and achieve new industrial applications."
