The EX5 excimer laser is a genuinely low cost, compact, mini excimer laser, weighing in at only 14kg, measuring 47 x 25 x 25cm and supplying up to 7.5W at 248nm and 3.5W at 193nm. The EX5 is air cooled, fully computer controlled and features on-board vacuum pumps and halogen filters. This highly reliable laser offers excellent tube, optic and gas lifetimes and the low trigger jitter and excellent pulse to pulse stability of the output make this laser ideally suited to applications in micromachining, laser ablation, laser ionization and OEM products.

Ocean Optics was founded in 1989 to manufacture fibre optic pH meters. In 1992 their first fibre optic spectrometer, the S1000, was launched. Since then Ocean Optics has grown to produce a large range of spectrometers that are compact, rugged, and affordable, with the company now regarded as the leading manufacturer of solutions for optical sensing. In the spirit of growth and renewal, Ocean Optics have recently re-branded with a new corporate logo!
