01 / WHY WE BUILD

We needed an
accessible laser,
too.

We met companies with ideas for ultrashort-pulse laser processing who would have been happy with the essential functions.

We faced the same barrier ourselves. We wanted to improve our slit-production equipment to make more precise slits, but even a used laser was beyond our budget.

We had the knowledge and experience to build it. So we decided to focus on the basics, simplify manufacturing and make the technology accessible to more teams.

Simpler manufacturingReduce unnecessary complexity in the product and its production.
Application-led developmentConnect engineering choices to real process requirements.
02 / What PulseBrick offers

Femtosecond pulses.
Two things to set.

We have stripped the source back to the essential functions. The operating concept centres on switching output on or off and adjusting pulse energy.

For the machine builder: a standard air-cooled OEM source, a defined analogue interface and a serial-number-specific test record.
