The ExciStar XS can operate at 157, 193, 248 nm or 351 nm (XeF). Its compact size and low total cost of ownership should make it particularly attractive to medical applications like LASIK (Laser-Insitu-Keratmoleusis). In addition the excimer laser is also used for material treatment of medical products like marking/engraving of eye glasses/lenses or tooth brushes.
