FQCW266-1200 High Power UV Laser
High-Power 266 nm Laser with 1,200 mW Output for Maximum Precision
The FQCW266-1200 – a high-power UV laser, stands for exceptional stability, efficiency, and longevity in the UV range. With a central wavelength of 266 nm and an output power of 1,200 mW, this laser delivers outstanding performance for demanding applications in both industry and research.
Power Flexibility
The FQCW266 – High Power UV Laser platform allows for flexible power options. Based on a common platform, nominal output power levels of 300 mW, 600 mW and 1,200 mW are available. The nominal output power can even be adapted to a different level during refurbishment. This offers maximum flexibility in terms of application requirements and power reserve.
Longevity & Easy Maintenance
The integrated Automatic Crystal Shifter (ACS) optimally utilizes the conversion crystal – significantly increasing lifespan and extending the maintenance interval to up to 16,000 operating hours.
Thanks to the air-cooled aluminum housing, no water cooling circuit is required.
For operation, a purge at the exit window with CDA (Clean Dry Air) or nitrogen (N₂) is sufficient – no internal gas management is needed.
Smart Control & Connectivity
Control the FQCW266 laser as needed:
- Manually at the push of a button
- Software-controlled via our control interface
- Externally via RS232, USB, or Ethernet
Designed for Continuous Operation
The FQCW266 – High Power UV Laser Series is designed for 24/7 applications in industrial environments – ideal for OEM customers in semiconductor manufacturing or high-precision research applications.
With a typical warm-up time of just 30 minutes and an average power consumption of 200 W, it impresses with efficiency and reliability at low operating cost.
