All wavelengths: 190nm-0.1THz for demanding applications in Photonics
In this issue of Industrial process News, we are delighted to showcase TOPTICA Photonics AG as our Laser Systems Manufacturer Company of the Month.
TOPTICA specialises in developing and manufacturing high-end laser systems for scientific and industrial applications.
The lasers cover all wavelengths for major applications in quantum technologies, BioPhotonics and industrial metrology. The company’s product range includes diode lasers, ultrafast fiber lasers, terahertz systems, and frequency combs, catering to a wide range of research and industrial fields.
Established in 1998 by Dr. Wilhelm Kaenders and Dr. Thomas Weber, the original solid academic foundation has allowed the expert growth of innovation in the field of photonics and laser technology over the last two decades.
The headquarters of TOPTICA is located in Gräfelfing, near Munich, Germany. Munich is considered the capital of the Silicon Valley of Germany, located close to a cluster of European bases of leading IT companies, such as Apple, Google and IBM.
This strategic location gives TOPTICA a large advantage across the European market and is complemented further by subsidiary companies and sales offices in the USA, Japan, France and China. This truly international presence allows TOPTICA to seamlessly serve its global client base. The TOPTICA Group today has 490 employees, in seven entities with a consolidated group revenue of close to 130 Mio € (141 Mio $).
We caught up with Jan Brubacher: Marketing Manager for a greater insight into this pioneering company, “TOPTICA Photonics AG is categorised within the specialist industry sector of laser technology and photonics, with a strong focus on precision, quality, and innovation. TOPTICA’s products provide an ultra-broad laser wavelength coverage: 190nm-0.1THz (corresponding to 3mm). They enable a big variety of demanding applications in quantum optics, spectroscopy, biophotonics, microscopy, test & measurement, as well as materials inspection.”
“Our key market is Quantum Optics & Spectroscopy, where our systems are typically used for demanding applications like laser cooling, trapping, and manipulation of atoms or ions in quantum optics, spectroscopy, or interferometry. TOPTICA is renowned for the widest wavelength coverage of tunable diode lasers on the market, providing high-power lasers even at exotic wavelengths.”
“Moreover, in BioPhotonics & Microscopy, our lasers play an invaluable role in instrumentation for life sciences and medical applications. In fields such as microscopy, flow cytometry, or in medical and pharmaceutical instruments, TOPTICA lasers fulfil the demand for modern photonic sources. TOPTICA’s portfolio includes UV, VIS and NIR laser sources, flexible multi-laser engines and pulsed fiber lasers for time-resolved applications.”
“In addition, with great expertise in optical and electronic control of lasers, TOPTICA provides lasers of lowest noise at highest wavelength stability for Test & Measurement. They are the perfect instruments for high-precision measurements of semiconductors, optical components, distances or chemical compositions. Frequencies in the terahertz region (0.1THz to 6THz) become accessible with TOPTICA’s integrated solutions, opening up a wealth of novel applications in applied science, non-destructive testing and industrial process control.”
