Where to Buy Ultraviolet Lasers

Sacher Lasertechnik has developed a frequency-doubled laser system where a resonant cavity including a frequency doubler crystal is pumped via a tunable diode laser. Depending on the required SHG power, the tunable diode laser is either a high power external cavity laser, or a two stage Master Oscillator Power Amplifier System. The covered wavelength regime ranges from 365 nm up to 540 nm.

Sacher Lasertechnik also offers the Jaguar UV laser, a MOPA system with fourth harmonic generation for output wavelengths from 205 nm to 270 nm.

Many applications benefit from central wavelengths in the VIS or UV range. AFS offers fully integrated frequency conversion modules from 1030 nm to 515 nm, 343 nm or even 258  nm. The conversion efficiency depends on the pulse duration of the driving laser. We offer fourth-harmonic generation upon request.

TOPTICA provides lasers in the UV range from 190 nm – 390 nm. Proprietary technology and high-end clean room manufacturing capabilities enable stable long-term operation at all wavelengths.

HÜBNER Photonics offer UV lasers in the Cobolt 05-01 and 06-01 Series, emitting at 355 nm (single-frequency or Q-switched)) or 375 nm (a continuous-wave diode laser).

CNI offers various ultraviolet lasers (diode lasers and diode-pumped solid-state lasers) with many wavelengths between 213 nm and 349 nm. The output power is up to 3 W, and the pulse energy is up to 10 mJ. The laser products include 5 series: high energy, high power, high stability, low noise and single longitudinal mode laser.

GWU-Lasertechnik has more than 30 years of experience in lasers and non-linear optics. We are the pioneer of commercial BBO OPO technology. Our widely tunable laser sources cover especially the UV and deep-UV range down to a wavelength of <190 nm. We offer pulsed solutions for nano-, pico- and femtosecond pulses with best performance and highest reliability. Our rugged and thoroughly tested all-solid-state Laser technology does not require any consumable supplies and is thus providing most convenient usability, longest lifetime and excellent total costs of ownership. With a vast flexibility and a huge versatility, GWU’s laser products can serve the needs even for the most demanding scientific and industrial applications.

KMLabs Hyperion VUV provides bright femtosecond pulses at numerous wavelengths across the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region, from 6.0 eV (205 nm) to 10.8 eV (115 nm). The discrete tunability of the KMLabs Hyperion VUV vacuum ultraviolet source enables researchers to study a wide range of materials and materials properties. A simple computer-selected change of photon energy provides a powerful capability, previously only available at a synchrotron; this ability to easily change the laser wavelength can enhance many experiments. For example, in angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) experiments, this tunability allows researchers to distinguish surface effects from bulk effects. For time-of-flight (ToF) studies of molecules, the tunability can distinguish otherwise identical isomers. Hyperion VUV is also highly focusable, and the appropriate optics can be used to reach spot sizes below 10 microns.

LightMachinery excimer lasers are powerful and reliable sources for ultraviolet light. They now feature exciPure™ technology, introduced in 2016; exciPure represents the greatest improvement in excimer gas lifetime and reduction in operating costs in a generation.

The IPEX-700 Seris is designed for medium duty cycle operation in industrial and R & D environments. These lasers deliver high power ultraviolet laser machining combined with state-of-the-art performance. They are ideal for applications such as pulsed laser deposition.

The IPEX-800 series is designed for high duty cycle operation in a manufacturing environment. These lasers deliver high power ultraviolet laser machining combined with state-of-the-art performance. They offer long gas lifetimes, superior optical stability and precise control of laser operating parameters. Easy to use, simple to service and economical to operate, they combine the benefits of high precision excimer processing with the lowest total cost of ownership and highest uptime in the market today.

Sub-nanosecond passively Q-switched microchip lasers are available with emission wavelengths of 355 nm and 266 nm.

For higher peak powers, we offer the 266 nm PNU-M01210-1x0 lasers, part of the Powerchip series, also available with various wavelengths including 355 nm, 266 nm and 213 nm. Peak powers of tens of kilowatts (or even 160 kW at 1064 nm) are generated, while the pulse durations are always well below a nanosecond. These lasers use a specific long life process to extend lifetime between refurbishments.

RPMC Lasers offers a wide range of ultraviolet laser diodes and DPSS lasers between 200 nm and 389 nm. We offer pulsed and CW lasers and modules, available with output powers from 1 mW up to 20 W, pulse energy from 200 nJ up to 35 mJ, and free-space & fiber-coupled output options, as well as packaging options at all levels of integration from TO can through turnkey systems.

Most of the pulsed lasers offered by ALPHALAS are optionally available with harmonics in the UV range:

• third harmonic (315, 343, 349, 351, 355 nm)
• fourth harmonic (236, 257, 262, 263, 266 nm)

with pulse durations from picoseconds (PICOPOWER series) to sub-nanoseconds and nanosecond (PULSELAS-A/P series). While the passively Q-switched sub-nanosecond microchip UV lasers are the best alternative for low-cost and maintenance-free operation, the harmonically tripled and quadrupled regeneratively amplified picosecond lasers offer very high peak powers for material processing and nonlinear optical applications.
