Femtosecond Laser

First European femtosecond laser platform for industry

Enhance your surfaces

Technological Opportunity

Femtosecond Laser

The femtosecond laser (10–15 seconds) implements a specific interaction of photons with matter, allowing it to be sublimated with controlled precision, reproducibility, and limited thermal effects. This femtosecond laser technology enables cutting, engraving, and functionalization while respecting the environment through low energy consumption, no chemical additives, and dry processing.

The femtosecond: an infinitesimal unit of time

Advanced technology

In 100 femtoseconds, light does not have time to travel the thickness of a human hair.

The interaction time is shorter than the atomic vibration time.

Our femtosecond laser services

1. Laser engraving and marking

Mark the surface of a material with a controlled relief pattern, down to micrometric precision. Marking is also possible inside certain materials.

2. Cutting

Cut through any material (wood, plastic, cardboard, metals, etc.) with high precision (to the micron, potentially to the nanometer) and limited thermal effects.

3. Surface functionalization

Transform the properties of a material to give it new functions, in order to improve its performance: adhesion, friction, wettability, cell growth, conductivity, embellishment, self-cleaning, etc.
