WARNING
CAUTION
The EQ-99 em
i
ts dangerous levels of UV
radiation. Even short exposures to skin or eyes
may cause burns. Ensure that only authorized
personnel are in the vicinity of source during
operation. Personnel in vicinity of operating
source should wear protective eyewear, clothing,
and gloves. Lighted UV warning lights and signs
posted on doors to lab areas may help prevent
accidental exposure.
This unit emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation that is
harmful to humans.
A
void exposure to the
direct or reflected output beam. Make certain
that the appropriate output beam shields and
optics are in place prior to energizing the unit.
All interlocks must be satisfied prior to
operation; failure to do so may lead to
hazardous conditions.
Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 7 - IPR2015-01375

2 EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2
WARNING
General Precautions
The EQ-99-FC should only be operated with a fiber connected to the broadband output and
connected using an SMA connector. Operation without an SMA terminated fiber in place will
result in hazardous broadband radiation. The far end of the output fiber should be terminated
into a closed beam tube. Due to the possibility of generating ozone when ambient oxygen is
exposed to short wavelength light, the beam should always be enclosed in an appropriate beam
pipe, tube, or enclosed space. We suggest purging any beam transport space with dry nitrogen
gas.
The EQ-99-FC source must also be cabled correctly and connected to a socket with a
protective earth ground prior to operation.
Refer to the Installation section of this manual (Chapter 3) for details of the facilities
connections.
Other than a bulb replacement, there are no user-serviceable parts inside the EQ-99-FC. For
any problems encountered during operation, please contact Energetiq Technology for
assistance. If there is a component failure, do not attempt to open the Power Supply
Controller or Lamp House enclosure of the EQ-99-FC.
The EQ-99 controller utilizes an internal Class 4
IR laser capable of causing severe injury to eyes
or skin. Do not open or attempt to service this
unit. Contact Energetiq regarding any problems
with the unit.
Energetiq Ex. 2060, page 8 - IPR2015-01375

EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 3
The EQ-99-FC utilizes a quartz lamp containing a high-pressure gas fill. Explosion of
the lamp and possible injury from flying fragments can occur if the lamp is
mishandled.
Do not open the enclosure of either the Lamp House enclosure or the Power Supply
Controller. Dangerous invisible infrared laser beams and hazardous voltages exist
inside the units. Opening the chassis both voids the warranty and exposes the user to
dangerous radiation and hazardous voltages.
CAUTION
Laser Information
The EQ-99-FC uses a patented (U.S. Patent #7,435,982, others pending) laser drive system to
excite a plasma that radiates in the UV as well as the visible bands. A class 4 laser is located in
the Power Supply Controller enclosure. Laser energy is delivered via an armored fiber to the
Lamp House enclosure and connected with an SMA-type connector. Safety interlocks shut
down the laser power if the SMA connector is removed from the Lamp House enclosure. The
optical configuration of the Lamp House ensures that the direct laser beam can not exit the
unit. The EQ-99-FC laser product is designated as Class 1 during all normal operation.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures
other than those specified herein may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.

No regular service is required for the EQ-99-FC. Any service to the system must be
performed only by factory authorized and trained technicians. To avoid injury, under no
circumstances should the user open or modify the Lamp House or Power Supply Controller
enclosure.
The unit must not be operated if the covers are removed or it is defective in any way. Contact
Energetiq if any problems with the equipment are suspected.

External Interlock
External interlock pins are provided for the customer’s use (see Chapter 3 for connection
details). Any suitable normally-open contact or solid-state switch can operate the interlock
circuit.
The interlock circuit must be connected to enable the operation of the unit. Should the
interlock connection open during operation or standby, the source is immediately disabled, and
all light output from the aperture ceases.

DESCRIPTION
General
The EQ-99-FC is a broad-band lamp system for use in a wide variety of applications. The
lamp produces high brightness, broad-band light from DUV wavelengths through visible and
beyond. The output is very stable, and has a long lifetime before any service is required. A
simple control interface ensures ease of use.
Some of the advantages of the EQ-99-FC include:
•Very high brightness across complete spectrum
–170nm through visible and beyond
•Eliminates need for multiple lamps (replaces D2/Tungsten/Xenon Arc)
–Simplified optical system
•Excellent spatial stability
–Repeatable measurements
•Superior short and long term power stability
–Repeatable measurements
•Electrodeless operation for long life
–Reduced consumable costs
–Minimal recalibration of instrument
The EQ-99-FC system consists of a Power Supply Controller unit, Lamp House unit, and
interconnecting cables. Connection to DC power is required for operation. Connection to
nitrogen purge gas is optional, but recommended for best performance. See Chapter 3 for
connection details.

EQ99 Operation Manual Rev. 2 13
Input/Output (I/O) Connector
Provides access to control and status signals. See Chapter 3 for pin assignments and functions.
This is the only operator interface to the EQ-99-FC – there are no local controls. Energetiq
offers the EQ-99-RC Remote Control Module which connects to the Input/Output
connector and provides a means of local control. Contact Energetiq for additional
information.
Power Input Connector
This is a latching input connector for 12 VDC power. Power can be provided using the
optional PS00018 12VDC power supply. Alternatively, the EQ-99-FC can be powered directly
from a customer provided 12VDC power supply. See Chapter 3 for detailed information.
Lamp House Signal Connector (mini D sub – 9-pin)
Provides various power and control signals to/from the Lamp House module. No other
connector or cable may be used with the EQ-99-FC other than the one supplied.
Armored Laser Fiber
The laser light is delivered from the Power Supply Controller to the Lamp House via a fiber
optic cable with armored protection. The fiber is permanently attached to the Power Supply
Controller, and connected to the Lamp House by an SMA-type connector.
It is critical that this armored fiber be treated with care and inspected for any abnormalities
prior to operation. Avoid sharp bends, which will permanently damage the fiber. Minimum
bend radius is 30mm (1.18 in). Avoid crimping or compressing the fiber.
Lamp House
The Lamp House assembly contains:
•Lamp
•Igniter
•IR pumping optics
•Output window
•Laser ON indicator
•Interface connectors
