Target Applications

Our custom laser modules enable high-performance optical architectures across demanding industrial and R&D domains.

• High peak power & short pulses: Efficient material removal with minimal thermal stress. • Compact design and low weight: Due to their minimal dimensions, ELM series microchip lasers are ideal for applications where space is limited, such as in portable handheld devices, mobile sensors or for integration into complex machines. • High beam quality and stability: ELM series lasers generate a laser beam in fundamental transverse mode (near ideal) and offer very good stability, enabling precise applications. • Q-switched short pulses (high peak power): ELM series microchip lasers can generate extremely short pulses (1 nanosecond, sometimes sub-picoseconds) with high peak power (>70 kW peak power). This is ideal for micromachining, marking, and LiDAR and LIBS applications. • Cost efficiency: The manufacturing techniques are similar to those used in microelectronics. This enables cost-effective mass production with good reproducibility and reliability.

LIBS (Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy)

Sub-nanosecond pulses generate clean, reproducible plasma plumes for high-precision, real-time elemental elemental material analysis.

micro material processing

Surface modification: marking metals and plastics. Cleaning and ablation: removing thin layers or contaminants from surfaces.

LiDAR & 3D Optical Sensing

Dual wavelength and excellent TEM00 spatial beam profile and high pulse energy for precise time-of-flight (ToF) measurement systems.

Photoacoustics & Biophotonics

Short pulse durations matched with accurate energy control deliver high acoustic signal-to-noise ratios in non-invasive imaging.

Plasma Ignition

Plasma ignition on surfaces using the ELM1064 microchip laser. The ELM1064 laser pulse generates plasma on a metal surface by delivering a high energy density that heats, melts, and vaporizes the material within nanoseconds.

supercontinuum generation in photonic crystal fiber

Our ELM1064 microchip laser, combined with a photonic crystal fiber (PCF), provides a compact and cost-effective solution for generating a broad white-light spectrum.
