An
excimer laser, or exciplex laser, is an ultraviolet form of laser.
Excimer laser devices find application in eye surgery, production of
microelectronic equipment, micromachining, and manufacturing of
semiconductor based integrated circuits or chips. An excimer laser
mainly consists of reactive gases such as fluorine or chlorine
coupled with noble gases, including argon, krypton, and/or xenon.
Unlike conventional lasers, laser action in an excimer laser arises
from repulsive or dissociative ground state as opposed to being in an
excited state. This is due to the fact that noble gases such as
krypton and xenon are highly inactive and generally do not form
chemical compounds. Nevertheless, when they are in an excited state
(induced by a high energy electron beam or an electrical discharge),
they can form momentarily bound molecules with themselves known as
dimmers or with halogens such as fluorine or chlorine, known as
complexes. The compound in its excited state can release its excess
energy by undergoing stimulated or spontaneous emission, thereby
giving rise to a strongly repulsive molecule in its ground state
which dissociates into two unbound atoms on the order of picoseconds.
This is the basic functioning of an excimer laser device.

The
key industrial use of the excimer lasers is in microelectronic
devices and equipment along with ultraviolet photolithography.
Excimer lasers have significantly high power ultraviolet output which
makes it very useful for surgeries. This is acting as a driving
factor for the growth of the excimer laser devices market. Moreover,
excimer lasers also find its application in research laboratory
equipment. Most important applications of excimer lasers are
photolithography for semiconductor chips, laser ablation,
micro-structuring of transparent media, pulsed laser deposition, eye
surgery, laser marking, psoriasis treatment and dye-laser pumping.
Rising
number of surgeries and high application areas of excimer lasers will
drive the overall excimer laser devices market
The
lifespan of an excimer laser is mainly limited by gas contamination,
corrosion processes, dust produced by electric discharge, apart from
high voltage electronics. These are some of the restraining factors
that might affect the market negatively during the forecast period.
However, varied application areas of excimer laser devices such as
medicine, construction, and semiconductor is likely to encourage the
growth of the excimer laser devices market during the forecast
period.
In
2016, North America held the maximum share of the market. The U.K.,
Germany, France, and Italy are some of the other countries which have
a significant share of the market. The increasing volume of surgical
procedures across the globe is likely to drive the overall growth of
the digital wound management devices market during the forecast
period. Surgeries are conducted to manage various diseases including
gastrointestinal diseases, cardiovascular diseases, spinal
abnormalities, urological disorders, orthopedic deformities, and
brain tumors. The significant growth in the number of surgeries,
especially in the European countries will help in the growth of the
excimer laser devices market in this region. In the Asia Pacific
region, Japan, China, India, and South Korea are the leading market
players. In South America region, Brazil and Argentina are likely to
boost the excimer laser devices market in this region.
