Industrial-Strength Solutions Excimers are the most powerful ultraviolet lasers, delivering the highest pulse energy and the highest average power available. These unique output characteristics have made excimers the tool of choice for a number of demanding applications. While early excimers developed a reputation as being difficult to operate, with frequent downtime and high service costs, that image Today the excimer is well established as a highly reliable industrial workhorse in high throughput applications. Prime examples nclude flat panel annealing, the low-cost drilling of holes in...

Excimer-enabled low temperature polysilicon (LTPS) annealing is critical to the performance of several types of high-resolution, high- brightness flat panel displays (FPDs). For both excimer laser annealing (ELA) and two-shot sequential lateral solidification (SLS) our lasers are used by all leading FPD Inkjet Nozzle Drilling To drill the array of tiny nozzles that form the ink pattern of inkjet printers, all the major manufacturers also choose our excimer lasers. Low cost of ownership and superior laser reliability are essential in this high-volume application.

Refractive Eye Surgery — LASIK and PRK Coherent is the leading independent supplier of excimer lasers for refractive ophthalmic surgeries - both LASIK and PRK. The superior beam homogeneity and high pulse-to-pulse stability of our lasers are particularly important in these procedures. Excimer lasers are ideal for marking glass components and products when using photomask or direct-write methods. Marking ophthalmic lenses is a good example of this capability. Lenses are marked with the manufacturer's logo, as well as alphanumeric codes that specify each lens' focal properties.
