LASER COMPONENTS is unique! Why is that? Although we all put our pants on one leg at a time, we have one basic advantage over our competitors: LASER COMPONENTS is both manufacturer and distributor, knowing the business from both sides. We offer competent advice as technological leader, we know the needs of our customers, and we can estimate the feasibility of new products. We are particularly successful due to the collaboration between each of the different production facilities: In just one year, five departments worked together to make the COUNT photon counters marketable; and just...

Photodiodes, from UV to IR, are manufactured in the U.S.A. Our strength is fibers for the transmission of high optical power in industry and medical technology. Laser optics from LASER COMPONENTS have had a longstanding history since 1986. PHOTON COUNTER FIBER OPTICS The technologies used in the manufacture of photon counters come from in house. LASER OPTICS Electronics development not only manufactures its own products, but it also creates synergies with other production facilities! Laser modules developed and manufactured in Germany. LASER MODULES LASER DIODES SUBSTRATES We have our own...
