AMS Technologies, a provider of lasers, optics, lighting, power technology and thermal management systems, recently announced that it has successfully acquired neoLASE, a developer of high-brightness diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers.

The acquisition will help increase AMS Technologies' high-power laser engineering capabilities by bringing to market "tailored" high-power laser systems specifically designed for customers. These laser systems are capable of delivering selectable pulse durations, repetition rates and output powers while ensuring superior beam quality.
neoLASE, which was spun off from the Laser Development Division of Laser Zentrum Hannover in 2007, offers master oscillator power amplifier systems with pulse durations ranging from nanoseconds to femtoseconds.




neoLASE's Hanover-based photonics cluster has longstanding expertise in DPSS laser amplification for many different seeds and offers MOPA systems from nanometer to femtosecond pulse durations. neoLASE's solid-state lasers are designed for 1064/1030/1940 and 2050 nm applications, with higher harmonics and a compact and reliable system design.
