Fibre lasers

Multitel designs new laser sources for various applications. Our approach is to propose fibre lasers and

hybrid laser solutions in industrial and R&D projects. We can offer prototyping to small series delivery.

Custom Design

Various other systems can be built on demand: high power CW lasers, Raman amplifiers (e.g. 40 dB gain @

1180 nm), femtosecond laser seeders (e.g. 500 fs @1030 nm)...

We accompany you from the idea to first prototype following a proven development process including needs

analysis, specifications, development, assembly and characterization procedures.

Competences

Besides optical components and special fibres handling, Multitel has competences in mechanical, thermal and electronic design and fabrication. From turnkey to remote systems, we offer on demand packaging and interfaces. Our lasers can be delivered as OEM component or standalone in compliance to laser international standards.
