Teem Photonics, Meylan, France

Teem Photonics™ is a privately-held company based near Grenoble, France. Spin-off from Schneider Electric founded in 1998, Teem Photonics™ is the leader in passively Q-switched microlasers as well as Photonics Integrated Circuits based on ion exchange technology.
The combination of passive Q-switching and microlaser technologies results in sources distinctive for sub nanosecond, high peak power pulses, generated from compact packages at high repetition rates. Wavelengths of operation are in the near infrared as well as the green and ultraviolet; applications include biophotonics, instrumentation, remote sensing, and material processing. Ion exchange integrated optic products consist of advanced passive and active waveguide circuits that are used to increase the performance and economics of packaged laser diodes.
Teem Photonics™ products are used in a variety of industrial and biophotonics applications. These include fluorescence, spectroscopy, gem marking, microdissection, communications, ranging, and as seeds for fiber lasers and supercontinuum generation.
Teem Photonics™ sells its products worldwide with offices and representatives in the Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the United States, and Canada. Teem Photonics has a wholly owned subsidiary, Teem Photonics USA, located in Massachusetts
For material processing even more than in other areas, Teem Photonics products offer picosecond class laser solutions at nanosecond economics. The narrow heat-affected-zone (HAZ) that may be generated with some materials is indeed negligible for a majority of applications. Picospark™ and PicoFlash™ series short sub-ns pulsewidth, stable, high repetition rate pulse trains are perfectly fitted to metal surface patterning and selective ablation of thin films (TCO patterning, LLO,..), or more generally high resolution micromachining processes. UV (355nm) and DUV (266nm) laser series can process virtually any type of materials and help minimizing your process quality dependence on the material itself.
