Problem
Traditional femtosecond lasers are complex, expensive, and time-consuming to manufacture, limiting their accessibility and adoption across industries. Their sensitivity to environmental disturbances and high maintenance requirements further restrict their use in demanding industrial and medical settings.
Solution
Litilit provides a range of robust, maintenance-free femtosecond lasers built on a patented laser pulse generator that enables automated, scalable production. This technology achieves telecom-standard reliability and competitive pricing while delivering clean, high-quality pulses. The lasers are designed to be turn-key and resistant to external disturbances, making them suitable for integration into various systems. With adjustable repetition rates, pulse durations, and power, they offer flexibility across diverse applications, from industrial material processing to medical procedures.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers and system integrators in the industrial, medical, and scientific sectors, including those involved in display manufacturing, marking and engraving, medical device production, and multiphoton microscopy.
