CryLaS has been supplying reliable lasers worldwide for nearly 20 years

CryLaS was founded in 2004 as a spin-off from Crystal GmbH – which in turn emerged in 1990 from the research and development department of the television electronics plant in Berlin-Oberschöneweide. The first development steps in the field of solid-state lasers were already taken in the mid-1990s, until the shareholders finally decided to spin off the company in the early 2000s.

Diode-pumped solid-state lasers in the UV and DUV range in pulsed or continuous-wave operation are the central focus of the company and future development. Due to the participation at the New Laser Corporation in Berlin Teltow during 2006, a lot of experience was gained, mainly for the development of CW laser sources.

In the following years, we achieved ISO9001:2015 certification through our outstanding quality management. In addition, we steadily completed and continue to complete new product developments. The 266 nm continuous-wave lasers are regularly undergoing new development steps so that, as things stand today, a portfolio ranging from 10 mW to 1 W can be offered.

The steady growth of CryLaS is also reflected by the interest from outside. In March 2021, most of the shares of CryLaS GmbH were acquired by Silver Investment Partners, which have made many investments possible since then – especially with regard to the equipment and expansion of the clean rooms, for production and further research content.

In 2022, Canlas Laser Processing GmbH also became part of CryLaS, adding actively Q-switched lasers to the portfolio. Our products are demanded worldwide and are primarily used by innovative research and industrial facilities.

“The solid-state lasers are very robust, compact and operate at wavelengths that conventional devices cannot reach,” said Andreas Wenzel, founder and CEO of CryLaS GmbH. This is also the motto of new innovative developments by CryLaS to this day.
