EKSPLA is doubling down on North America. Photonics veteran Stephen Hypsh, with past roles at Jenoptik and TRUMPF, takes over as president of EKSPLA USA to bring the company closer to its customers there.

Judges at the 2022 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards singled out one feature above all: dry cooling. EKSPLA’s FemtoLux 30, a 30 W industrial femtosecond laser that runs without water, took gold in its category.

What happens in the first molecular layer at a surface? SFG vibrational spectroscopy can tell you. In a new PhotonicsViews article, EKSPLA’s R&D team walks through the method and its use in photovoltaics research.

The world’s most intense lasers now have a Lithuanian founder. Lithuania has joined ELI ERIC, the laser CERN, and the lasers inside its labs, including SYLOS 3, are built by EKSPLA and Light Conversion.

Photoacoustic imaging sees deep into tissue without X-rays. A new Review of Scientific Instruments article profiles EKSPLA’s PhotoSonus M+, a tunable laser built to push imaging depth and resolution in cancer research.

A water chiller is often the first thing to fail on an industrial laser, and the first to need maintenance. EKSPLA’s FemtoLux 30, a 30 W femtosecond laser, drops it for sealed dry cooling and runs 24/7/365.

EKSPLA lasers have run in French labs for two decades. From 2021, Opton Laser International, France’s leading photonics distributor since 1990, takes exclusive rights to sell them across the country.
