Mobius Photonics Patent for Precise Average Power Control of Green and UV Fiber-Based Light Sources Targets Process Uniformity, Repeatability, Pulse Stability.
SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – May 12, 2009 —Mobius Photonics, Inc. has been awarded U.S. Patent #7,529,281, “Light source with precisely controlled wavelength-converted average power”.
The key innovation protected by this patent is the control of wavelength-converted pulse energy and average power, achieved through control of the wavelength conversion efficiency. The patent is particularly useful in fiber MOPA (master-oscillator, power amplifier) systems where the (infra-red) IR fundamental wavelength is converted to green or (ultra-violet) UV wavelengths.
Dr. Laura Smoliar, CEO of Mobius Photonics, Inc., said, “We are pleased that the United States Patent Office confirmed the novelty and utility of our power control concept. Our system's exceptional pulse stability and control enable superior process uniformity and repeatability for a diverse array of precision material processing applications, from scribing of large-format solar panels to meeting tight cutting or drilling tolerances needed for miniaturizing electronics. This patent further differentiates our products from incumbent laser technologies and other laser suppliers”

Mobius Photonics, Inc. Awarded U.S. Patent for Design Enabling High-Throughput Parallel Laser Processing
SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – December 15, 2008 —Mobius Photonics, Inc. has been awarded U.S. Patent #7,443,903, “Laser Apparatus Having Multiple Synchronous Amplifiers Tied to One Master Oscillator”.
The architecture described offers a unique way to scale up average power for integration into high throughput machine tools without sacrificing reliability. Conventional diode-pumped, solid-state lasers are incapable of the flexibility and scalability of the fiber-based architecture embodied in this patent. For customers in cost-sensitive applications, such as solar cell processing, PCB manufacturing, or display manufacturing, this approach enables high throughput with competitive cost of ownership.
Dr. Laura Smoliar, CEO of Mobius Photonics, Inc., said, “We are pleased that the United States Patent Office confirmed the novelty and utility of our design. This patent provides broad coverage for laser architectures utilizing a master oscillator seeding multiple parallel amplifiers and delivering multiple outputs.”

Mobius Photonics, Inc. to Deliver UV Results at SPIE Photonics West 2009
SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – December 10, 2008 —Mobius Photonics, Inc. will deliver the newest results for UV performance, based on the company’s proprietary fiber amplifier-based UV laser platform, next month at the SPIE Photonics West 2009 Conference (http://spie.org/x2584.xml). The presentation (Paper 7193-14 & 7195-14) takes place on Monday, January 26, 2009, at the San Jose, California, Convention Center.
The Mobius Photonics team’s work, to be presented by Manuel J. Leonardo, will demonstrate the scalability of a novel air-cooled platform to powers above 30W of UV (355nm).
“Besides demonstrating unparalleled performance, the results demonstrate the potential of our uniquely scalable and flexible technology platform utilizing fiber technology,”
Dr. Laura Smoliar, CEO of Mobius Photonics, Inc., said. “The SPIE presentation will be the first public discussion of the leading-edge performance that has captivated companies using fiber-based laser sources.”

The 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.
