A laser is only as reliable as its cooling. EKSPLA’s new case study retires the high-maintenance water chiller for a dry cooling system, built on military-grade engineering, that keeps femtosecond lasers running around the clock.

Support just got closer for EKSPLA’s customers in South Korea. A new office in Seoul brings local expertise, faster product guidance, and hands-on collaboration to partners across industry and research.

For over a decade, EKSPLA lasers have helped calibrate CERN’s most precise measurements. A new Memorandum of Understanding deepens that partnership, opening the door to projects like the Future Circular Collider.

EKSPLA is growing closer to its customers in four more markets. New representatives in China, Japan, South Korea, and Italy now support sales and servicing of EKSPLA’s scientific and industrial lasers.

Poor cooling can drift a laser’s wavelength and shorten its life. In its Photonics Spectra cover story, EKSPLA shows how direct refrigerant cooling (DRC) brings higher efficiency and lasting stability.

The L4 ATON laser fired one shot a minute at 5.1 petawatts, one million billion watts. Built by EKSPLA with National Energetics and ELI Beamlines, it reached the world’s highest pulse energy at the multi-petawatt level.

Ultrafast experiments force a trade-off between pulse speed and wavelength reach. EKSPLA’s new FemtoTune delivers both, pairing sub-50 fs pulses at up to 100 kHz with broad tuning across the visible and near-infrared.

High voltage, high speed, and a footprint about half that of typical competitors. EKSPLA Electronics’ new PCD Pockels cell drivers reach 9.8 kV at 6 MHz, and most units run error-free well past 10 years of 24/7 duty.

In diode pumping, current stability is everything. EKSPLA’s second-generation uniLDD drivers push 10 – 1200 A at under 0.1% ripple, with optional TEC channels to hold diodes and Peltier elements steady from one unit.
