EX10 EXCIMER LASER

For applications requiring high repetition rate and moderate average power, when you need a compact air cooled laser, the EX10 is the choice.

The EX10 excimer laser offers state of the art performance in a compact package and provides a highly reliable, powerful source of ultraviolet radiation. Repetition rates of 300Hz and 600Hz in air cooled units, an average power of 12W with KrF at 248nm and 6.5W with ArF at 193nm give of operation between refills using XeCl.

Ideal for applications in micromachining, tunable laser pumping, marking and mass spectrometry. A 1000Hz water cooled version is also available.

Turn Key Table Top System

The EX10 laser is total metal/ceramic device and uses an advanced linear design to produce high energy output in a compact package. The carefully chosen materials for laser construction give the EX10 static and dynamic gas lifetimes unmatched by any other excimer laser. The gas lifetime advantage is particularly noticeable with F2 at 157nm in the VUV where static gas lifetime is over 15 days compared to 1 day for most excimer lasers. A optimized F2 version the EX10F is recommended for dedicated 157nm operation.

The EX10 is designed for medical, scientific and industrial applications where long term service free operation is required. Software automatically maintains constant , highly stable (<2%), energy output using the standard internal energy monitor. The software also warns the user if maintenance is required. The laser can operate directly from a PC for remote programming and software upgrading. The EX10 of course includes standard features such as active thermal stabilization, constant power and energy control, external triggered operation, sync out, automatic refill and automatic gas control. The laser can be completely controlled from a Windows 9x or Windows NT software package.

High Efficiency Discharge

High efficiency is the key to outstanding laser performance. The EX10 operates with up to 3 times the efficiency of similar mini excimer lasers. This means that only 1/3 of the energy input is required to achieve the same optical output. The optimized soft corona preionization state creates a uniform high efficiency discharge at repetition rates up to 1000Hz with a switching jitter of less than 2nS standard deviation. Additionally the increased efficiency greatly decreases the wasted energy deposited to the discharge and results in reduced EMI and much reduced electrode and component wear. This also increases total system lifetime and allows air cooled operation at the highest repetition rates.

The EX50LN Excimer Lasers

Applications

Key Benefits


Narrowband lasers use intra cavity wavelength dispersive elements to line narrow the free running spectral range of excimer lasers. Linewidths of less than 1pm are routinely obtained in table top systems.
A free running excimer laser with a stable resonator produces a spectral output with a relatively wide bandwidth. For example free running ArF has a bandwidth of approximately 500pm FWHM. The spectral output can be greatly narrowed by inserting wavelength dispersive optical elements into the laser cavity . The narrow band output can also be tuned over a region which is typically close to the free running bandwidth of the laser. With both ArF and KrF linewidths of less than 1pm can be obtained. Narrow band excimer lasers exhibit exceptional coherence properties. For FBG BraggMaster lasers applications, which produce high spatial and high temporal coherence are recommended.

The EX50LN is available in a number of repetition rate models from 125Hz up to 1000Hz with up to 8mJ of narrow band energy at 248nm and 3mJ at 193nm. Higher energy output is available from an oscillator amplifier line narrowed system which produces up to 100mJ of highly line narrowed 248nm output.
