Company Profile
Cristal Laser is a French-based SME with a 30-year history that grows and fabricates high-quality non-linear optical crystals such as LBO, KTP, KTA and for electro-optic Pockels cells, RTP crystals. These crystals are used in many areas: Laser Surgery, Life Sciences, Security and Defence, as well as for material processing applications.
Our progress in crystal growth has enabled us to increase the size and weight of the LBO boules : we now can fabricate LBO parts with a 100mm aperture, which are dedicated to high-energy laser systems.
Since 2006, our clean room facility ensures the best product cleanliness. Our first-class metrology equipment guarantees that our products meet the highest quality standards: ZYGO Interferometers, Photo-Thermal Common-path Interferometer for absorption measurements, AFM.
Cristal Laser has been involved involved in many high tech/R&D programs and in various Aerospace projects (the Curiosity and Perseverance Rovers on Mars, Aeolus- to name a few).
