Recap from 2011
• Excimer Laser refurbished• Translation Stage• Vacuum Chamber Constructed• Optics and Railing Purchased• Chiller (allows for rep rate >3Hz, max 50Hz)• External Triggering circuit designed and built• Data Acquisition Card for pulse measurement • LabView program written• Made our first cuts into Diamond in October 2011

Old Optics
• Single Fused Silica focusing lens creates large spherical aberrations in spot.

New Optics
L1 L2 L3
First the laser beam is expandedSetting L1 and L2’s focal lengths at theSame point
The “Point” is then imaged throughL2, creating a parallel beam
Finally, the light is focusedThrough L3, a fused silica lensWith a large radius of curvature (34.5mm)Onto the target

Summary
• Laser is operating at above ablation energies for hours of run time
• Automation of milling cycle is complete• Beam spot has been “cleaned” of spherical
aberrations• Will begin milling 20micron diamonds within
the next 6 months.
