MOBIUS Patent for Green, UV Fiber-Based Light Sources

Mobius Photonics Patent for Precise Average Power Control of Green and UV
Fiber-Based Light Sources Targets Process Uniformity, Repeatability, Pulse
Stability.

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. – May 12, 2009 – Mobius Photonics, Inc. has been
awarded U.S. Patent #7,529,281, “Light source with precisely controlled
wavelength-converted average power”.

The key innovation protected by this patent is the control of
wavelength-converted pulse energy and average power, achieved through
control of the wavelength conversion efficiency. The patent is particularly
useful in fiber MOPA (master-oscillator, power amplifier) systems where the
(infra-red) IR fundamental wavelength is converted to green or
(ultra-violet) UV wavelengths.

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
power control concept. Our system’s exceptional pulse stability and control
enable superior process uniformity and repeatability for a diverse array of
precision material processing applications, from scribing of large-format
solar panels to meeting tight cutting or drilling tolerances needed for
miniaturizing electronics. This patent further differentiates our products
from incumbent laser technologies and other laser suppliers”.

About Mobius Photonics
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,
solar cell manufacturing, semiconductor inspection and repair, via
drilling, and medical therapy.
