Fibercryst pioneered Crystal Fiber technology in the field of high power ultrafast lasers and amplifiers. Taranis amplifiers based on crystal fibers have been used to amplify most of the commercially available short pulse lasers and demonstrated a total hands-off operation for the past three years. Fibercryst supplies PICO and FEMTO two high power ultrashort lasers series designed for industrial applications as well as laser amplifiers. FEMTO by Fibercrystis a powerful industrial femtosecond laser offering output power up to 25 W and high pulse energies up to 150 μJ of typically 800 fs pulse width at repetition rates selectable between 100 kHz and 2 MHz. The FEMTO series is the only ultra-fast lasers using Taranis Single Crystal Fiber (SCF) amplifier construction which enables higher energy per pulse, widely variable repetition rates and excellent beam quality. PICO by Fibercrystis a series of powerful industrial lasers. It emits picosecond pulses with excellent beam quality, in a compact package. The PICO series can be operated at user selected repetition rate ranging from 200 kHz to 2 MHz depending on the process needs. By selecting the repetition rate, the user can favor pulse peak power above 10 MW or average power up to 60W, while keeping high and constant beam quality. www.fibercryst.com

Sy&Seis a start up from the Haute Ecole Arc Ingénierie (HE-Arc) specialized in joining technologies of micro and macro systems. In many manufacturing processes, assembling is an essential step and it contributes to obtaining a high-quality and efficient finished product. Since mastering the technology and the manufacturing costs of each step is imperative for companies, the SY&SE propose, building up on a major scientific discovery, a new ICB (Impulse Current Bonding) binding process, which combines cost-effective and robust assembly of glasses on various metals, glasses on silicon, silicon on fused silica, sapphire on silicon and glasses, and also stacks of these materials.High quality of the bond interface obtained with the innovative ICB technique is particularly well suited for photonic systems based on integration of optical compounds with cleanness, precision and stability (covalent bonds). Related to this aspect, hermeticity between adjacent surfaces or for device encapsulation required for efficient performance and moisture prevention is a serious advantage. Other assembly configurations with more common optical waveguide materials such as for example InP, GaAs, or GaN on glasses are also possible (by the use of intermediate evaporated thin layers).www.syandse.ch
