Contract Engineering

Actinix has designed and built custom lasers and diagnostic tools for a variety of photonics applications:

  • Solid-state deep ultraviolet lasers
  • Excimer laser beam diagnostics and line narrowing testing
  • 193 nm photomask metrology tools
  • Pulsed fiber lasers with optical parametric amplification

Below are some examples of systems we have developed (click on photos for more info).

VUV Laser System

The system shown to the right is a custom built VUV laser source that provided over 2 mJ at 188 nm. Using a fiber laser seed source, a pulsed Nd:Yag laser, an optical parametric amplifier and non-linear DUV/VUV generation crystals the system provided high energy, low jitter, one-nanosecond light pulses.

Solid-state 193 nm Laser

Actinix has designed and constructed solid-state 193 nm laser systems for semiconductor metrology applications. This work was funded in part with an SBIR from the National Science Foundation.

Photomask Metrology

A photomask phase metroiogy tool was developed for the semiconductor industry under an NSF Phase II grant. The system consisted of our 193-nm solid state laser in conjunction with a custom DUV microscope.
