Custom Development of Laser Sources

Integrated Optics excels at low volume, high mix production. Apart of that we are also good in R&D and prototyping and since incorporation we had multiple successful projects with integrators, who needed laser customization or just feasibility studies.

Have not found a suitable laser?

In life science applications, such as microscopy, flow-cytometry, particle analysis, laser beam is often shaped, laser wavelengths are combined in various ways in spacial, spectral and time domains. Applications in the field of Quantum often require specific tunability of laser parameters, which might not be available in standard product configurations. Medical and analytical applications often utilize pulsed laser with exact pulse duration/energy/repetition rate. All these examples are the key areas where we typically customize or develop new lasers.

Development workflow

If you have not found a laser source, which matches your requirements, but you think it is potentially achievable with our platforms (direct diode, tapered amplifiers, DPSS, passive Q-Switch, fiber amplifier), then please contact us for custom development. Typically steps are like this:

Initial discussion (contact sales@integratedoptics.com)
NDA (if needed)
Development cost calculation
Contract (written agreement or PO)
Feasibility study
First model tested in our lab
First prototype tested in our lab
Second prototype tested in customer's lab

Areas of interest

Typically we are undertaking custom development projects if a particular task matches our product strategy. Currently we are focussing on following product groups:

CW laser up to 1 W of output power, from 375 nm to 1550 nm
Tapered amplifier systems
Wavelength combiners of 4, 5 channels
Passive Q-Switched picosecond-nanosecond lasers from 343 nm to 1550 nm
DPSS MOPA systems
Fiber MOPA systems
