High-energy UV lasers for display and green energy applications

The next generation of power saving displays, superconductivity-driven carbon-free energy generation, semiconductor manufacturing, and also refractive eye surgery largely hinge on photonics-based precision manufacturing. They all benefit from the unique technical properties of excimer lasers, namely the laser's short wavelength in the ultraviolet range of the spectrum and the high pulse energy output. Gen 8 display fab expansion, capacity upscaling of superconducting tapes for future fusion reactors, and new tool developments for inspection and thin film manufacturing in the semiconductor industry are in full swing, and enabled by UV laser system technology.
