axiom – Solid State Continuous Wave Lasers

The axiom laser designed by Laser Quantum is a high power, air-cooled laser delivering 12 W of power without the need for liquid cooling. As with many mission-critical applications, 24/7 reliability together with long service lifetimes are required. Designed with the semiconductor system builder in mind, Laser Quantum has designed the axiom laser specifically to address the requirements of wafer inspection and is able to offer OEMs a series of unique features. Thanks to its novel cavity design, the axiom laser can be supplied with a customized bandwidth profile that is able to deliver a speckle pattern dedicated to the specifics of the inspection application, along with exceptional beam quality and active noise suppression. Advanced integrated power feedback is a defining feature, and this feature allows the laser to intelligently maintain and optimize its own power levels in order to maintain beam specification with no power fluctuations.
