Product information "IPEX-800 Excimer Lasers"

193-351 nm; Energy 0.150-0.700 J; Max. Rep-rate 10-200 Hz; Average Power 3-80 W; Pulse Duration 12-20 ns FWHM; Beam Size 12x26, 12x28 mm; High Duty Cycle Operation

Designed for high duty cycle operation in a manufacturing environment, Light Machinery’s IPEX-800 series of excimer lasers deliver high power ultraviolet laser machining combined with state-of-the-art performance.

The largest single cost of operating an excimer laser is laser gas consumption while running the laser (also known as dynamic gas lifetime). Incorporating LightMachinery’s proprietary ICON™ (Integrated Ceramic on Nickel) and patented exciPure™ technologies, IPEX lasers offer extremely long gas lifetimes, superior optical stability and precise control of laser operating parameters. With exciPure™, LightMachinery has achieved a 10x improvement in gas usage over competing lasers. This technological breakthrough leads to dramatically less cost to run your laser.

EasyClean automated valves fitted to the optics ports allow the laser chamber to be sealed and the gas fill/passivation to be retained while resonator optics are removed for cleaning and maintenance. Easy to use, simple to service and economical to operate, IPEX-800 lasers combine the benefits of high precision excimer processing with the lowest total cost of ownership and highest uptime in the market today. Marking of ceramics is one of many applications for these versatile industrial tools.

Manufacturer "LightMachinery"

LightMachinery is dedicated to producing the world's finest lasers, optical components and optical equipment like high-precision spectrometers. The experts at LightMachinery are veterans of the laser and optics world with many years of experience in the areas of optical design, high-power lasers, optical fabrication, laser systems, metrology, thin film coatings and custom machinery fabrication. LightMachinery is extremely experienced with specifying, designing and manufacturing custom optics components, equipment and lasers. Custom etalons, VIPAs, beamsplitters, laser optics & lenses and Michelson interferometers are available as well as custom thin film coatings, uniform thickness thin wafers (Fused Silica, Pyrex, Silicon), windows or ultra-flat substrates. Most of LightMachinery’s etalons, interferometers, custom optics and wafers are finished using the company’s patented, computer-controlled fluid jet polishing (FJP) technology. FJP sets a new standard for optical manufacturing, allowing the adjustment of the shape and flatness of optical components to within a few nanometers as well as the production of large and very thin components with less than 10 nm of thickness variation. VIPAs (Virtually Imaged Phase Array, a special type of Fabry-Perot etalon with three distinct coatings) manufactured with FJP are at the core of many of LightMachinery’s advanced spectrometer series. LightMachinery has produced components and equipment for customers throughout the world involved in space science, telecommunications, semiconductor, high-power lasers, academic research, nondestructive testing, biophotonics, electronics, pharmaceutical manufacturing and materials processing.
