Why Laser Damage Testing is Critical for UV Laser Applications

There are numerous advantages to using UV lasers as opposed to longer wavelengths such as infrared or visible light. In materials processing, infrared or visible lasers melt or vaporize material, which can hinder the creation of small, precise features and damage the structural integrity of the substrate. On the other hand, UV lasers process materials by directly breaking the atomic bonds in the substrate, which means that no peripheral heating is created around the beam spot.
