New Wave Research
Also known as ESI. These lasers are used for Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and laser trimming (ex: for high precision IC resistors, microprobing)
Often the power supply and the laser have the same name (ie there is a 1:1 mapping with no compatibility across families).

Compatibility notes:
- Ezlaze and LCS-II have very similar connectors. However, their orientation is switched / they are not compatible mechanically (without forcing...) or electrically
- I think I tried just the servo connector once and it was semi compatible
