Looking for UV laser

[Zig]

Hello room,

I am looking for a UV laser ( wavelength 365nm ) to use in curing of epoxy material.

Any lead, hint or offer very welcome.

Zig,

Why not just use a UV lamp?

If you are thinking of a selective spot cure, be aware that most UV cure epoxy has an initiator that once activated will cascade reaction. This will cause un-exposed epoxy to cure also, and since there is often a thermal step for full strength this will do the same once the epoxy has become activated.

If you really want a UV laser, look for either a high power C mount diode or a near UV 405nm blue diode.

Also q-switched, http://www.dpss-lasers.com/series350...FQMQswodolhMfA or http://www.dpss-lasers.com/Samurai.html may be what you are looking for.

Zax.
