  • Cartridge excimer laser system
    Patent number: 6055259
    Abstract: A new cartridge excimer laser system and method for generating an excimer laser beam using the system are provided. The system utilizes a cartridge (10) which contains a halogen-noble gas mixture (19), electrodes (50, 60) having external electrical connections (30, 40), and assembly (20) for transmitting a laser beam output (400), and an external gas port (90). The cartridge (10) fits onto a receptacle (100) located within a receiving compartment (200) of the laser base (300) of the new system. The cartridge (10) is easily replaced by the system operator and is refurbished by the manufacturer when the gas mixture (19) therein is exhausted.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 2, 1998
