Excimer LasersStudents NameInstitutional AffiliationCourse Name & NumberInstructors NameAssignment Due DateExcimer LasersThe excimer laser is a type of ultraviolet laser that is extensively utilized in medical devices, flat panel display, commercial microelectronics, and automotive industries. The commercial excimer laser technology has grown over many decades as advancement in science and technology has continuity to unfold daily. In 1987, organic polymers were used to produce excimer laser tubes which later evolved during the 1990s, particularly in 1994 when the production shifted to the use of all-metal ceramic laser technology. Likewise, the technology saw more improvement, especially in the output beam stability and laser operational lifetime, by introducing the sliding discharge soft preionization scheme. Over the last two decades, more improvements have been witnessed in the excimer laser technology based on performance and innovations, making them cost-effective and pulsed ultraviolet laser technology. This report presents detailed information about excimer lasers. Fundamentals of lasersThere are two fundamental elements of a laser:A laser is a gain or an amplifying medium that can be liquid, solid, or gas. The medium consists of
