POWERLASE Appointed Medallion Member at World Renowned Academic Institute
- Powerlase has been award Medallion Member status by the University of Central Florida
- The award recognises Powerlase’s continued collaboration with UCF in the area of Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography research.
POWERLASE Ltd, manufacturers of the world’s most powerful nanosecond Q-switched, diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) lasers, has been appointed a Medallion Member of the Industrial Affiliates programme at the University of Central Florida.
The award follows groundbreaking research between POWERLASE and UCF into Extreme Ultraviolet Lithography (EUVL), now the most promising technique for producing next-generation semiconductors at 32nm and below. The collaboration has yielded impressive results with two lasers multiplexed together for the first time to increase the power of the EUV source.
