UV Laser

Unlike lasers that emit infrared light, a UV laser emits light from the ultraviolet spectrum. They have numerous industrial applications, including medical procedures and computer technology. They were first developed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in the 1990’s.

The UV laser is an important tool of the microelectronics industry. The pinpoint accuracy, narrow beam, and UV absorption qualities of many of the materials used in this industry have made this type of laser invaluable. They are also popular for this kind of work because they tend to create fewer problems due to heat build-up.

The UV laser can be used for a number of other applications as well. They are extremely valuable for photolithography and engraving work. They are also commonly used in spectral analysis work, as well as for medical research.
