Energetiq Technology,
Inc., a developer and manufacturer of specialized light sources for advanced
technology applications, has announced another addition to its Laser-Driven
Light Source (LDLS(TM)) product family: the EQ-99. The EQ-99 is specifically
designed for next generation HPLC, advanced microscopy and other demanding imaging
and spectroscopy applications, and will be launched at SPIE Photonics West and
BiOS, January 23-28, 2010.
Like its Energetiq LDLS predecessors the EQ-1000, EQ-1500, and EQ-1510, the
ultra-compact EQ-99 broadband light source can provide very high brightness
from 170nm through visible and beyond. This ability to cover the complete spectrum
makes it an economical and efficient alternative to using traditional lamps.
Xenon-arc, Deuterium, and Tungsten/Halogen lamps each cover only a portion of
the spectrum covered by the LDLS light sources, and their use of electrodes
limits their ability to achieve the high brightness, stable output and long
life that is necessary for next-generation HPLC, imaging, and analytical spectroscopy
applications in the life and materials sciences. The EQ-99's excellent spatial
and power stability enables highly repeatable measurements over long periods
of operation. Because it utilizes Energetiq's unique laser-driven bulb technology,
the EQ-99 has a lamp life which is an order of magnitude longer than traditional
electrode-driven lamps.
Energetiq Technology, Inc. is a developer and manufacturer of advanced light
sources that enable the manufacture and analysis of nano-scale structures and
products. Used in complex scientific and engineering applications such as analytical
instruments for life sciences and leading edge semiconductor manufacture, Energetiq's
light products are based on new technology that generates high brightness across
the spectrum, from 1nm to 1000nm and beyond, with high reliability, long operating
life, and in a compact package.
