Research & Development
We are often asked about what makes LASER COMPONENTS so unique. On the previous pages, you have gained some insight into our very different production facilities. All areas of production enjoy a vast professional network; in addition, we have a cross-disciplinary R&D department in Germany that is active in our core technological areas. This combination of different competencies makes us quite special.
Optical Technologies
We are experienced in various polishing methods for glass substrates and with dielectric coatings: from design to production. Our expertise includes plasma-induced processes and ion beam sputtering processes.
Fiber Technologies
SM, PM, and MM assemblies: We combine different materials and connectors and manufacture at the highest level of quality. To produce fiber optics for use in medical technology, we have a cleanroom that meets the ISO requirements for class 7 at our disposal.
Optoelectronic Technologies
The development of optoelectronic technologies requires cross-disciplinary knowledge: we are competent and bundle knowledge from the areas of mechanics, optics, and electronics to complete complex tasks in a short amount of time.
The following infographic shows the typical development process – from an idea to series production and beyond, including product care. The range of development projects is a challenge that we gladly face: This makes it possible to carry out both customizations in general and bilateral, protected ideas.
IDEA
We are all creative, but sometimes the formulation of an idea is challenging: We support our customers and bring solution-oriented approaches to paper.
NDA
Ideas must be protected: Together we clarify the framework for an NDA. We edit your proposal directly or suggest our own draft.
SPECIFICATION
The expectations of the development result must be defined and confirmed: For this purpose, we will gladly create a specification sheet.
IMPLEMENTATION
Let the fun begin! We work project oriented, with milestones and schedules – and keep you informed of interim results.
VERIFICATION
The results are documented in a detailed manner, and the test certificates serve as proof of achievement of a milestone.
SAMPLE APPROVAL
Sample approval is carried out by the customer – in the previously specified application.
SERIES PRODUCTION
The move toward production is a particular challenge. The process definitions are key; the component is transferred to production in close collaboration with our specialists.
PRODUCT CARE
We are always open to hearing your thoughts and experiences: Further developments are often based on feedback from our customers.
