PRODUCTS

The current product family is denoted as the G1+ Laser System and features both fundamental (IR) and harmonically wavelength converted (green and UV) outputs. These products are based on a pulsed master-oscillator, fiber-power-amplifier (MOFPA) architecture. An all fiber amplifier design eliminates the complexity and performance limitations of bulk amplifiers or Q-switched lasers. G1+ Laser SystemThe unique architecture of the G1+ Laser System allows diffraction limited operation over a wide range of user adjustable pulse repetition frequencies, pulse widths, and duty cycles. In contrast to conventional solid-state lasers, the output beam spatial properties, such as beam diameter, divergence, and pointing, are largely independent of the system operating parameters.

A modular product design enables efficient manufacturing, enhanced serviceability, and provides an easy upgrade path. All product modules are entirely air-cooled, eliminating the requirement for problematic water cooling. The G1+ Laser System product family is designed for RoHS and WEEE compliance.

Applications

The G1+ Laser System product family addresses commercial materials processing applications, especially semiconductor and microelectronics processing. Application areas include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Materials Processing
  • Wafer scribing and dicing
  • Low-k dielectric scribing
  • Solar cell scribing and cutting
  • Circuit trimming
  • Link blowing
  • Sapphire scribing
  • Ceramics processing
  • Flat panel fabrication and repair
  • Other ablative processes
  • Precision Manufacturing
  • Micro-welding
  • Wire bonding (especially gold / copper)
  • Photoresist patterning
  • Micromachining
  • Micro-via drilling
  • Marking
  • Medical
  • Surgical
  • Device manufacturing

The system’s unique capability to rapidly change pulse repetition frequency and pulse width enables a single system to readily process multiple materials or composite structures.

Features

G1+ Laser SystemThe G1+ Laser System product family has a unique combination of characteristics enabling new processes with higher throughput and yield. Some key features are listed below.

  • High output powers
    • 10 W @ 355 nm
    • 18 W @ 532 nm
    • 30 W @ 1064 nm
  • Independent control of pulse width and pulse repetition frequency
    • Variable pulse widths from 2 to 100 ns
    • Variable pulse repetition frequency up to 1 MHz
  • Very high repetition frequencies, up to 1 MHz
  • Short pulse width, down to 2 ns
  • Pulse temporal shape control
  • Transverse mode parameters independent of pulse width and pulse repetition frequency
  • Diffraction limited output, M2<1.3
  • Low beam pointing error
  • Burst mode operation with equal pulse energies
  • Single shot capability
  • Extremely low pulse-to-pulse jitter
  • Control via RS 232 or USB interface
  • Air cooled, eliminating the complications of water cooling
  • Modular design for enhanced serviceability and maintenance

Designed for OEM Integration

The G1+ Laser System consists of two electronic modules, an optical head, and associated cabling. The Source Module contains the control electronics and low power optical circuitry. The Pump Module contains the high power laser diode that pumps the final power amplifier. The Optical Head contains both the final power amplifier and an optical output section that includes optional harmonic wavelength conversion crystals. The system is designed so that the electronic modules and optical head are field swappable.G1+ Laser System

The G1+ system design facilitates integration into an OEM operating environment. The electronic modules are both rack mountable and operate from standard 110 VAC wall outlets. Overall power consumption is less than 2500 Watts. The Optical Head can be mounted in either a vertical orientation (as shown) or a horizontal orientation (rotated 90 degrees from the position shown). Connections between the electronic modules and Optical Head are via 5 m long cables, allowing flexible system positioning and orientation.
