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)
