Laser power for singulation and
micromachining
Applications of the Avia 532-38 diode-pumped, solid state laser include singulation of microelectronics packages, wafer scribing, and edge isolation in solar cells
Coherent has introduced the Avia 532-38, a diode-pumped, solid state laser which delivers over 38W of output at 532nm (at 120kHz) with a pulsewidth of only 45nsec This laser's excellent beam characteristics (TEM00, M<1.3), combined with its high average power and high peak power, make the Avia 532-38 the optimum tool for micromachining applications requiring both fast throughput and precision edge quality (minimised heat affected zone)

Violet laser producing power from 4mW to 30mW at 408nm for series a range of applications including cytometry, high-throughput screening, and confocal microscopy
Backed by a two year/10,000 hour warranty, this new model is based on the existing, field-proven Avia O/A platform (oscillator/amplifier cavity) that is configured for long-term stability, high reliability and ease of operation.
This design incorporates key proprietary features such as PermAlign, a solder-bonding technology for securely mounting all the resonator optics, as well as long-lived AAA (aluminium-free active area) pump laser diodes.
The laser is simple to operate and integrate thanks to the use of total pulse control, a comprehensive software suite that enables customised pulse control and power on demand.
The complete Avia 532-38 laser system includes a sealed, water-cooled laser head and a compact air-cooled power supply.
