Ekspla, manufacturer of lasers & laser systems and Opton Laser International (OLI), France’s leading distributor of lasers and photonic products since 1990 are very pleased to announce partnership agreement, effective January 1st, 2021.

On 25 of November, the ELI-ALPS (Extreme Light Infrastructure Attosecond Light Pulse Source) facility and consortium between EKSPLA and Light Conversion, following continuing collaboration between three parties, signed a research and development contract for building a new laser system, called SYLOS3 for ELI-ALPS.

The PT403 was born as a result of close cooperation with scientific users by serving their request for a reliable, space-saving, and functional tunable wavelength picosecond laser source. To ensure reliability, industry and market-tested solutions were employed during the design and construction of the PT403.

Langmuir, the highly reputed ACS (American Chemical Society) magazine, in it’s May issue, published an interesting study called “Structure Determination of Hen Egg-White Lysozyme Aggregates Adsorbed to Lipid/Water and Air/Water Interfaces” which was featured on the magazine‘s cover.

Ekspla updated it‘s range of high-energy tunable wavelength lasers. Various options and model upgrades will make these tunable nanosecond lasers even more versatile and able to be tailored for specific applications and/or requirements. The main upgrades were implemented into the two main series of high-energy tunable lasers – NT340 and NT350.

Ekspla introduced a new high-energy laser source version for photoacoustic imaging applications. For researchers requesting higher sample imaging depth and resolution, PhotoSonus+ delivers up to 250 mJ of pulse energy at 10 Hz repetition rate.

New, fast wavelength switching (FWS) is available for Ekspla tunable wavelength lasers. Users will be able to preprogram almost any number of desired wavelengths to be emitted at any step and at any order. For instance, the first pulse can be emitted at 850 nm, the second at 980 nm, third at 720 nm, etc.

From the beginning of 2020, EKSPLA has started buying electricity produced from renewable energy sources.

The UltraFlux FF/FT 5000 laser is a 2 TW tabletop femtosecond OPCPA (Optical Parametric Chirped Pulse Amplification) based system operating at up to 1 kHz. Originally built for ELI‑ALPS (Extreme Light Infrastructure – Attosecond Light Pulse Source) in Hungary, this laser is now available for various other applications.

What laser parameters would be best  suited for my applications? Are there any examples of employing this type of laser for the research fields I work in? Can I get this laser user’s reference list? A lot of questions arise in laser buyers and users heads. Whether a potential buyer or an existing owner. Whether a Scientist or an Engineer integrating lasers into their set-up.

“We do believe that lasers like SYLOS can be adapted to solve the nuclear waste issue globally without leaving it for future generations to deal with. How soon this could be achieved will depend on the political will of governments, since lasers and infrastructure of this kind could cost up to billions of euros per unit,” said Gadonas.

On June 24-27 Lithuanian laser manufacturers will present their latest technologies in the most important laser industry event “Laser World of Photonics 2019“ in Munich. The Lithuanian National stand will cover an area of 313 square meters, and will house 18 Lithuanian laser companies.

Nobel Prize winner Prof. Gérard Mourou pushed an improvised black color button. Femtosecond pulses, each featuring ~6,6 fs duration and ~32 mJ energy running at 1 kHz repetition rate were registered and visualized by a projector in front of a big auditorium.

During his stay in Lithuania, prof. Gerard Mourou, Nobel Prize winner in Physics, visited two of the Lithuanian laser manufacturers (Ekspla and Light conversion) as well as participated in the conference “Open readings 2019”. The plenary presentation “Passion for Extreme Light”, delivered by prof. G. Mourou was met with great interest and a full auditorium.

FemtoLux green is a modern compact femtosecond fiber laser aimed for both R&D use and industrial integration. Laser delivers 1.5 W at 515 nm or 3 W at 1030 nm of average power and up to 3 μJ femtosecond pulse energy.

Ekspla opened representative office in UK, responsible for sales and service in UK and Ireland. The office is located centrally in the UK with great links to the rest of the country, based in Lincolnshire.

The updated Atlantic line features industrial picosecond laser models with higher average power and prolonged lifetime for UV versions. To ensure simple model navigation, all Atlantic series products have been rearranged into three groups according to output wavelength: Atlantic IR, Atlantic VIS and Atlantic UV series.

The SY4000 series module is designed to create up to 8 delayed output pulse sequences precisely synchronized to an internal or external clock. A photodetector or electrical signal can be used as the input source to be synchronized. The SY4000 delivers precise delay control from 2 ns to 150 ms, maintaining 25 ps timing resolution.

Ekspla, the laser company, is introducing a new picosecond high power UV laser. The Atlantic UV30 industrial picosecond laser is capable of producing 30 W of output power at 355 nm. More than 8000 hours UV optics lifetime is guaranteed, which is more than 11 months 24/7 service free operation.

Unique OPCPA based laser system, providing 5 terawatts of output power at 1 kHz repetition rate has been produced by Ekspla and Light Conversion led consortium. Sylos 1 named system was designed and build for Extreme Light Infrastructure - Attosecond Light Pulse Source facilities (ELI-ALPS) located in Szeged, Hungary.

Vilnius – November 16, 2016 - celebrating 24 years of innovations, Ekspla, manufacturer of lasers, laser systems and electronics announced updated brand identity followed by facelifted logo.

The 10 petawatt (PW) laser system under construction at National Energetics (Austin, TX) for the Extreme Light Infrastructure Beamlines facility (ELI Beamlines) in the Czech Republic has passed a major development milestone, on time and within specification, says the company.

Unique laser infrastructure, so called Extreme Light Infrastructure (ELI) will start it’s operation in Europe in the year 2018. System, estimated of ~850 m Euros value will be created by 40 scientific and business institutions, including companies from Lithuania.
