Mobius Photonics (Santa Clara, CA) has been awarded U.S. Patent #7,443,903 for a new laser apparatus that has multiple synchronous amplifiers tied to one master oscillator. This fiber-based architecture scales up average power for integration into high throughput machine tools without sacrificing reliability. Conventional diode-pumped, solid-state lasers are incapable of this flexibility and scalability. The laser apparatus is ideal for cost-sensitive applications such as solar cell processing, PCB manufacturing, or display manufacturing.
