Photonics Manufacturing Challenges We Solve

Precision laser micromachining solutions tailored for the unique demands of optical component manufacturing

Micron Feature Precision

Optical components require features at the micron scale—diffraction gratings with line densities exceeding 1000 lines/mm, micro-lens arrays with profiles accurate to nanometers, and waveguide structures where deviations compromise optical performance.

Our Solution

Advanced fiber laser systems with 10μm positioning resolution and active beam stabilization, achieving ±5μm feature accuracy on complex optical geometries. Optimized for metals, thin films, and select non-metal substrates used in photonics assembly.

Zero Thermal Impact

Traditional laser processing creates heat-affected zones thatcause refractive index changes, stress birefringence, andmicro-cracks-destroying optical performance in precisioncomponents.

Our Solution

Precision pulse control with ultrafast picosecond/nanosecond fiber laser platforms—minimized heat transfer, tightly confined HAZ, and edge quality suitable for optical mounting fixtures, metal apertures, and reflective components where thermal damage must be controlled.

Complex 3D Metal Micro-Structures

Modern photonics and precision instrumentation demand increasingly complex metal structures—angled apertures for optical benches, multi-layer stacked shields, folded flexure mounts, and 3D micro-assemblies where conventional stamping or etching cannot achieve required precision or edge quality.

Our Solution

Multi-axis laser processing with precision motion control, enabling 3D micromachining of metal components including beveled edges, angled cuts, and welded multi-layer assemblies for optical and MEMS applications.
