Alpes Lasers SA
About
Alpes Lasers SA is a Swiss SME, specialising in mid-infrared photonics. The company acts as a component and sub-systems designer and manufacturer. Our core competency is Quantum Cascade Laser design, fabrication and quality assurance. Over the years the company has enlarged its competency towards more general semiconductor laser design and manufacture.
Tailored mid-IR-emitting lasers hold significant potential for non-invasive medical imaging.
