Laser technologies

Our work supports competitive production approaches – from identifying the best materials for three-dimensional-printing and optimising production through fusion or energy deposition, to defining optimal post-processing strategies and conducting testing and evaluation of final parts.

We support clients in the manufacturing, transport and power-generation industries by improving the material properties of structural or functional equipment, thereby improving its durability and longevity.

We have a proven track record in developing and positioning multi-kilowatt laser beams, shaping high-power laser beams, compensating for thermo-optical distortions and producing high-power bulk mid-IR laser sources at wavelengths of 1 µm, 1.3 µm, 1.9 µm and 2 µm.

Clients in the defence, mining, transport and marine industries have discovered the benefits of laser-based manufacturing in terms of cost reduction, reduced waste, improved performance and lifespan, and greater design flexibility. We conduct research into new materials and techniques, as well as the development of advanced printing technology.

We use optical or photonics-based techniques to conduct single-molecule and/or single-cell studies. This field covers medical and biological disciplines, as well as chemical and physical sciences. The use of light and optics offers significant advantages by enabling the collection and analysis of multi-dimensional data.
