LDLS™
`Laser-Driven Light Source
`EQ-1000 High Brightness DUV Light Source
`
`Researchers using UV light for a variety of spectroscopy, semi-
`conductor processing, and life science applications need light
`sources capable of providing extremely high brightness across
`a broad wavelength range. Excimer and other DUV lasers carry
`high purchase and operating costs. Other light sources such as
`arc or deuterium lamps can’t achieve the high brightness, power,
`or broad spectral range necessary. A single UV-VIS source com-
`bining superior high brightness and a broad range from visible
`to the deepest UV bands is now available to meet these appli-
`cation challenges.
`
`Building upon its expertise in high brightness EUV and DUV light
`source technology, Energetiq has developed a ground-breaking
`new technology that enables extreme high brightness light
`sources over a broad spectral range, from 170nm through visible
`and beyond. The LDLS™ Laser-Driven Light Source is embodied
`in the Energetiq EQ-1000, a user-friendly, compact DUV source
`that is configured as a broadband source for spectroscopy or
`general research applications. In addition, the user can, through
`using the standard optical output interface, select narrow bands
`of light for specific applications such as photoresist testing in
`the 193 nm or 248 nm bands. Utilizing a proprietary laser-driven
`bulb technology* for superior brightness, the EQ-1000 LDLS
`Laser-Driven Light Source is the world’s first source of truly
`broadband DUV-VIS power.

`
`Electrodeless Laser-Driven
`Light Source Technology
`
`Energetiq’s innovative Laser-Driven Light Source (LDLS™) technology uses a CW
`laser to directly heat a Xenon plasma to the high temperatures necessary for
`efficient deep ultraviolet production. In traditional approaches such as arc and
`deuterium lamps, the brightness, UV power, and lamp lifetime are limited by
`the use of electrodes to couple power to the plasma. The electrodeless LDLS
`technology creates small, high brightness plasma that allows efficient light col-
`lection, broad spectral range from the deepest UV through visible and beyond,
`and long lamp life.
