IPG Photonics Launches UV Lasers for Machining

Oxford, Massachusetts-based IPG Photonics Corporation (Nasdaq: IPGP), has announced the launch of three deep ultraviolet (Deep UV) lasers with its proprietary non-linear crystals, providing more robust and flexible solutions over lasers using conventional frequency conversion materials. These new lasers provide industry-leading reliability for numerous industries and micromachining applications:

  1. A 3-watt continuous wave, single-frequency fiber laser at 266 nm designed for inspection, photolithography, FBG writing, disk remastering and spectroscopy applications
  2. A 5-watt nanosecond pulsed fiber laser at 266 nm with up to 2 µJ pulses at 1.5 ns, designed for micro-cutting, drilling, texturing, marking and selective material removal on challenging materials such as glass, diamond and Teflon
  3. A 5-watt picosecond pulsed fiber laser at 257 nm with up to 5 µJ pulses at 1 ps, designed for micro-cutting, drilling and selective material removal for PCBs, flex circuits, LEDs and flat panel display applications

Deep UV lasers enable manufacturers in the electronics, display, semiconductor and medical industries to seek ever-greater precision for their tools and processes while maintaining established industrial standards for reliability and uptime.
