The two companies will combine their industrially reliable technologies to develop and manufacture a range of ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet ultrafast lasers. The focus will be on lasers with high industrial reliability for the growing and demanding micromachining markets in semiconductor, consumer electronics, and medical.
Basil Garabet, President & CEO of NKT Photonics explains: “We are excited about our collaboration with Oxide Corporation as we will combine NKT Photonics long experience in ultrafast laser design with Oxide’s superior material technologies for UV harmonic generation. This will enable us to offer highly reliable, cost-effective, and flexible ultrafast UV lasers delivering both high average power and high pulse energy.”,
Yasunori Furukawa, President & CEO of Oxide Corporation adds: “We are very excited with this collaboration with NKT Photonics, as it will allow our cutting-edge THG modules to be combined with NKTP’s highly-functional fiber lasers, further enhancing the performance of each. I believe our high-performance crystals and optical assemblies will mutually complement with ultrafast UV lasers NKT Photonics.”
The first lasers based on the collaboration will be on display at the NKT Photonics booth A3.137 at LASER World of PHOTONICS in Munich in June.
