Excimer Laser Gas Mixtures & Equipment

Excimer Pure Gases
Excimer Info
An excimer laser is a multi-gas mixture, dedicated to the generation and /or production of a single wavelength. In order to achieve maximum safety, improve reproducibility, and guarantee optimum laser performance, the use of a premix has become a laser industry standard.

Linde Gases premixes provide the following advantages:

- Very low percentages of toxic, corrosive halogen gases
- Precise gas mixtures analyzed and guaranteed to each manufacturer's specifications
- Minimal space requirements
- Lowered cylinder costs: shipping, storage, rental
- Fewer gas lines and gas handling equipment
- Superior reproducibility

The term "Excimer" refers to the rare gas / halide molecule. There are four wavelengths (spectral lines) that can be generated from Fluorine laser gas mixtures and two generated from Hydrogen Chloride laser gas mixtures.

A specially designed, convoluted, stainless steel diaphragm provides good regulating performance and maximum purity integrity without the need for a soft seal, which often can be a source of contamination. Each regulator is capable of withstanding an internal purging and is provided with a diffusion-resistant, diaphragm-packless outlet valve to maintain system purity. The optional bonnet vent adaptor allows for the venting of hazardous gases in the event of diaphragm failure. ::: F7130 Series Brass Single Stage High Purity Regulators Brochure
F7140 Series Two Stage High Purity Regulators
The F7140 Series two stage, high purity regulators are designed for non-corrosive analytical and process applications requiring precise, stable delivery pressure control. The two stage design yields a delivery pressure change of less than 0.04/100 psi inlet change. The regulators' convoluted stainless steel diaphragms provide excellent regulating characteristics and allow for internal purging. The metal-to-metal diaphragm seal prevents contamination by eliminating the need for a soft seal, and provides a leak-rate design of less than 2 x 10-8 ccs helium. This minimizes cleanup time when purging and yields lower residual contaminant levels. ::: F7140 Series Two Stage High Purity Regulators Brochure
