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.

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.

PbS/PbSe detectors, in the 3 – 5 micron wavelength range, with custom specifications lead to top-performing instrumentation. Optical chopping frequency, bias voltage, and other critical parameters can be optimized.

QuickSwitch PLD and APD line array

For autonomous driving or for room surveillance with laser scanners, innovative and reliable components are necessary.

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 gives rise to noise cancellation benefits.
