Stereotyping
We always develop specialized components together with our customers; these components are ideally suited to fit our customer’s application. Because it is not always possible to achieve this from a desk, we visit over 1,000 customers personally worldwide each year. We are always fascinated by the things we see and experience on site. You get to know a business partner best through direct contact on site rather than over the telephone or from a website.
We are equally surprised to learn the stereotypes some of our customers have associated with us. Although it is widely known that we are experts in custom designs, it is less commonly known that we have many key technologies for the development and production of optical and optoelectronic components at our disposal in house.
A collaborative development project is particularly advantageous for our customers due to the short communication paths and cross-disciplinary competence from one source.
We have, therefore, decided to focus this issue – especially in light of the upcoming LASER World of PHOTONICS – on our in-house development and production departments.
With the LASER trade show in Munich approaching, an absolute industry highlight is just around the corner. Come visit us at our booth and strike up a conversation with us. In addition to the numerous managing directors from our suppliers, all of our in-house technical specialists will be available.
We look forward to four demanding yet extremely interesting trade show days, at which we will hold more customer meetings than in the entire rest of the year.
Sincerely,
Patrick Paul
General Manager, Laser Components GmbH

FLEXPOINT Laser Modules
FLEXPOINT laser modules are produced at two locations in Germany. This task is exciting because the laser modules are so different. In addition, these products are constantly being further developed. Daily tasks are, therefore, in constant flux and measuring stations continually adapted.
Laser Optics for the Highest Possible Energy Densities
Everybody is familiar with the scene in Goldfinger in which the antagonist attempts to slice James Bond 007 in half with a laser beam. In 1964, this film was pure science fiction. Just one year earlier, the first CW laser had been developed – at a power level of approximately 1 mW. This is not even strong enough to cut through a sheet of paper.
Lasers in the kW range are now a part of everyday industrial life and would not fascinate people anymore at the movie theater. For research purposes, the first devices are in use with several hundred terawatts. However, neither welding lasers nor fusion reactors can function properly without proper optics. At high power levels and energy densities, the expectations are high.
Fiber-optic Assemblies
Differential PYROS
Pyroelectric detectors are used in the measurement of IR radiation. Our new pyroelectric detectors with differential amplifiers have achieved a performance level that has only been achieved via special processes. The differential output also improves the interference resistance.
APD & PLD
QuickSwitch® Pulsed Laser Diode and APD Line Array
For autonomous driving or room surveillance with laser scanners, innovative and reliable components are required to design entire systems for novel applications.
