R&D Project to Enable Laser Refurbishment

Current technologies do not allow laser components to be reused or devices to be refurbished without taking them apart. Integrated Optics aims to improve micro-optics soldering technology so that lasers and their components can be recycled and refurbished without dismantling. This will help lower costs and make laser production and use more sustainable.

The project "Lazeriu Ziedas" focuses on making laser refurbishment more efficient, as the current process uses a lot of resources and limits the full potential of long-lasting components. Integrated Optics will conduct research and development (R&D) to enhance the MatchBox laser platform, keeping its strengths while solving or reducing existing technical challenges to make the products more reliable and durable.

The project will take place at Integrated Optics’ Klaipeda branch, which will become a key centre for recycling and repairing out-of-warranty lasers. New knowledge from experimentation and testing will be gathered and used for future development.
