Empowering innovation through custom-tailored photonics — ultrafast lasers for biomedicine, micro-material processing and optical communications.
We are developing ultrafast lasers and photonic systems for applications in biomedicine, micro-material processing and optical communications. By deploying our application-driven custom-tailored ultrafast lasers, we advance the application performance and potential, due to optimized lasers' features, which are not commercially available.
