Quasar Hybrid Fiber Lasers HIGH POWER UV & GREEN LASERS FOR FAST PRECISION MICROMACHINING Spectra-Physics’ Quasar® is a breakthrough new hybrid fiber laser delivering industry-leading high power UV and green at high repetition rates. Quasar features novel TimeShift™ technology for programmable pulse profiles for the ultimate in process speed, flexibility, and control. BREAKTHROUGH TECHNOLOGY Quasar combines advanced fiber laser, power amplifier and patented harmonics technologies to achieve breakthrough results. This unique design exploits fiber laser flexibility and robustness to enable TimeShift technology. Adding Spectra-Physics’ exclusive power amplifier, Quasar enhances this flexibility at unprecedented high output power levels. Finally, with Spectra-Physics’ patented harmonics, known for exceptional stability, Quasar is an innovative synergy of power, flexibility and control in a reliable 24/7 OEM laser for the most demanding applications. BREAKTHROUGH PERFORMANCE • TimeShift Technology - Constant pulse width over wide range of PRF - Variable pulse width - Pulse shaping - Pulse splitting and Burst mode operation Quasar 355-45 produces >45 W of UV and Quasar 532-75 produces >75 W of green output power at >200 kHz pulse repetition frequency (PRF). Both models operate over a wide rep rate range, from 0–1 MHz for ultra-high speed micromachining and output excellent beam characteristics (M2 <1.3) with low noise. With TimeShift™ technology, pulse widths can be varied at constant PRF or conversely, PRF can be varied at constant pulse width. • High PRF from 0–1 MHz for fast processing • Robust and reliable for OEM tools • Datalog for critical performance monitoring and diagnostics A P P L I C AT I O N S • Glass cutting and drilling Quasar is designed, built, and tested to stringent quality standards for reliable continuous operation in demanding 24/7 manufacturing environments. The built-in ALPS (Active Laser Purification System) helps sustain that performance for long life. And finally, Quasar lasers’ automatic data logging software monitors all key laser performance parameters over the life of the laser, providing a powerful service feature and product reliability tool. Power vs Repetition Rate Performance1 • Si micromachining • Si wafer dicing • Low K dielectric grooving • Ceramic processing • LED processing • Solar cell processing • ITO patterning • HDI (high density interconnects) Repetition Rate (kHz) 1. Specified power is >45 W at 200 kHz, >45 W at 250 kHz and >41 W at 300 kHz. Other points on graph are not a guaranteed or warranted specification. *Patent pending

TimeShift™ Technology – Expanding and/or Compressing (Controlling) Output in the Time Domain to Enhance Utilization Quasar is the first laser of this class to offer TimeShift technology, which enables pulse energy programmability in the time domain. By controlling the laser pulse (width and shape) in time and repetition rate, material removal and/or modification in micromachining becomes more efficient, thereby increasing process speed and quality. Utilizing TimeShift in conjunction with high UV or green power at a higher repetition rate means Quasar can process more materials faster, and...
