Mobius Photonics, Inc. Awarded U.S. Patent for Design Enabling High-Throughput Parallel Laser Processing

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – December 15, 2008 – Mobius Photonics, Inc. has been
awarded U.S. Patent #7,443,903, “Laser Apparatus Having Multiple
Synchronous Amplifiers Tied to One Master Oscillator”.

The architecture described offers a unique way to scale up average power
for integration into high throughput machine tools without sacrificing
reliability. Conventional diode-pumped, solid-state lasers are incapable
of the flexibility and scalability of the fiber-based architecture embodied
in this patent. For customers in cost-sensitive applications, such as
solar cell processing, PCB manufacturing, or display manufacturing, this
approach enables high throughput with competitive cost of ownership.

Dr. Laura Smoliar, CEO of Mobius Photonics, Inc., said, “We are pleased
that the United States Patent Office confirmed the novelty and utility of
our design. This patent provides broad coverage for laser architectures
utilizing a master oscillator seeding multiple parallel amplifiers and
delivering multiple outputs.”

Founded in 2005, Mobius Photonics, Inc. is the leader in commercial
fiber-based laser sources for the visible and UV. Mobius is made up of
industry veterans who previously created two successful laser companies, a
management team that combines in-depth understanding of customer needs with
manufacturing experience, and a product development team that pushes the
state of the art by working in close collaboration with suppliers and
customers from around the world.

Current products feature both fundamental (IR) and harmonically wavelength
converted (green and UV) outputs. These products are based on a pulsed
master-oscillator, fiber-power-amplifier (MOFPA) architecture. Applications
for these laser sources include wafer singulation, material processing,
semiconductor inspection and repair, via drilling, and medical therapy.
