Laser sources and laser systems

Basis for precise detection and inspection – for example for bilge-giving procedures, material analysis and high-resolution measurements

Our laser sources and systems are used in high-precision detection, inspection, and free-space optical communications. This includes the development and optimization of fiber and solid-state lasers, nonlinear converters, as well as novel laser materials and resonator geometries.


By scaling and in-house manufacturing components such as fiber couplers for SWIR and MWIR fibers, we enable high-performance, robust laser systems for sensors, imaging, and LIDT measurements.

We also research nonlinear converter materials and develop MWIR and LWIR sources for specialized applications.
