Zurich, Switzerland--Founded in 2005, Onefive announces the completion of its 1000th ultrafast laser system since the first one was shipped back in 2006. Onefive says this achievement demonstrates that the company has established itself as one of the leading suppliers in the ultrafast laser market and that quality management and continuous efforts in engineering and product design have made Onefive a preferred choice for industrial-grate OEM solutions for both femtosecond and picosecond applications.
To celebrate this important achievement, Onefive will raffle the S/N 1000 laser at SPIE Photonics West 2014; Visit Booth 5127 for a chance to win.
"We are very proud of reaching this milestone, especially when considering that we are one of the few players in this niche market with neither venture capital nor having been acquired by any of the big players," says Onefive CEO Lukas Krainer. "It proves that industry leading performance, quality and volume can be successfully handled by small, privately owned companies."
Onefive says its ultrafast lasers are designed and qualified for 24/7 operation under harsh environments and that the company's focused product development approach provides a dust-sealed, maintenance-free, small footprint produce with reliability turnkey operation at a competitive price throughout the complete product fleet. To assure a high level of reproducibility, assembly of the lasers is accomplished according to rigid procedures with a stringent level of quality control. Each laser runs extensive predefined and gated tests where all core specifications are monitored and measured.
Onefive offers a standard warranty period of 24 months for all its products. The femtosecond Origami platform offers pedestal-free pulse shape and ultralow noise performance. High-power versions are available up to 100 microjoules of pulse energy. The picosecond Katana platform offers the versatility of continuously tuning the pulse repetition rate from pulse on demand up to 120 MHz. This source has been developed to satisfy the industrial requirements at the best price/performance ratio. And the complete product portfolio also includes the < 20 ps Genki lasers and PiLas picosecond gain-switched semiconductor laser diodes.
