At the Shanghai Optical Expo in Shanghai 2018, as a leading supplier of laser pointer and devices, Spectral Physics has mainly demonstrated two directions of the product. One is a high-power ultraviolet (UV) nanosecond laser, which is a 45W high-power ultraviolet-tunable laser that can operate at high repetition rates without noise; the other is a small-size integrated packaging product, which is based on cost-effectiveness and reliability Look, it is a very practical laser. It is very helpful for some consumer electronics manufacturing applications (such as printed circuit boards). This is also the latest product in the Spectra-Physics UV laser portfolio. These include single-mode UV lasers for micromachining from 1W to 60W. Another product direction is industrial ultra-short pulse and ultra-fast lasers. Products include picosecond lasers and femtosecond lasers. The processing of these two high-power lasers will not cause any damage to the area and will not cause damage to the drill. In addition, Spectra-Physics exhibited a new 100W femtosecond laser. With this laser, not only the highest processing quality can be obtained, but also high processing yield. It can be said that the quality and output are both perfect directions!
From the product range of the entire exhibition, material processing is still the main direction of laser pointers application. Micromachining is still a key area of Spectra-Physics and the main product direction. Herman Chui, senior director of product marketing at Spectra-Physics, said in an interview with OFweek LaserNet that micromachining is an important area because of the demand for lasers in industries such as consumer electronics, mobile devices, displays, semiconductors, and printed circuit boards. It is constantly increasing, and it needs to add small space functions and more attractive costs to attract more manufacturers. According to Herman Chui, the key product directions required by the market are either short wavelengths such as UV lasers, or long pulses to picosecond lasers, and then femtosecond lasers. Spectra-Physics’ nanosecond, picosecond, femtosecond and IR green and ultraviolet laser combinations of these four lasers really cover the above application areas.
