Measurement of Excimer Lasers
Lasers can be divided into many categories based on their principle of operation, wavelength, and output powers; here we will discuss the class of lasers known as Excimer lasers. An Excimer laser is a pulsed laser whose operation relies on the interaction between noble gases and halogen gases, induced by strong electrical voltages. These lasers…

Ultraviolet Excimer Laser Profiling – Challenges And Solutions
An excimer laser, sometimes more correctly called an exciplex laser, is a form of ultraviolet laser which is commonly used in the production of microelectronic devices, semiconductor based integrated circuits or “chips”, eye surgery, and micromachining. As important as ultraviolet excimer lasers are for many applications, measuring them, is not always such an easy task.…
