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).
ESI:
- Wafer scribe laser
- "ESI to acquire New Wave Research for $36M" (2007)

Misc notes:
- Terminology
- UV3: 355 nm, "third harmonic generation"
- UV4: 266 nm, "fourth harmonic generation"
- 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
- I think I tried just the servo connector once and it was semi compatible

McMaster scrap controllers
- 2x Tempest
- Cooling components still there but laser controllers missing
- 1x Polaris
- Cooling components still there but laser controllers missing
