Lithography is the transfer of a designed pattern onto a flat surface, either directly or via an intermediate medium - excluding areas of the surface where the pattern is not required. In photomask lithography, where a design is patterned onto a substrate, a laser is used to expose the pattern, allowing deposited material to be etched away, preparing it for further processing. This lithography met

With power up to 30W, the innovative Jasper Flex is intended for systems with volume constraints that require high laser power and outstanding pulse quality. The Jasper Flex is a smaller version of the Jasper laser, which was the first all-fiber high-power laser built using SESAM-free technology. This ground-breaki
