Spectra-Physics® New Industrial DPSS Lasers Span UV to IR, High Power to Compact

Feb. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Spectra-Physics®, a Newport Corporation brand, introduces two new industrial Q-switched lasers for 24/7 microelectronics manufacturing applications.  The Pulseo® 355-Turbo™ features advanced ultraviolet (UV) performance at very high repetition rates (up to 500 kHz), making it ideal for high-speed processing of semiconductors, touch screens, high density interconnects, and other microelectronics.  The Explorer® 1064-3 delivers high infrared (IR) peak power, excellent beam quality and brightness in a robust, compact package for memory repair and micromachining applications.

“These two new lasers demonstrate the breadth and strength of the Spectra-Physics industrial DPSS laser portfolio,” stated Herman Chui, senior director of product marketing for Spectra-Physics.  “The Pulseo 355-Turbo has higher UV power and half the noise of competing lasers, while the Explorer 1064-3 is a versatile IR laser with state-of-the-art performance in a rugged, tiny package.”

The Pulseo 355-Turbo features >8W 355nm output power with
