Our Story
Picophotonics is a Finnish SME specializing in ultracompact SESAM Q‑switched microchip lasers for industrial and scientific applications
Picophotonics is a Finnish SME delivering advanced European laser technology. Our key components, development, and assembly take all place in Finland, ensuring high quality, reliability, and precision.
Founded as a spin-off from the Optoelectronics Research Center (ORC) of Tampere University, our company operates in-house cleanroom facilities with full capabilities for custom laser development, manufacturing, and semiconductor processes.
Our mission is to bridge the gap between complex mode-locked lasers delivering picosecond pulses and conventional nanosecond Q-switched lasers, providing a robust, compact, and cost-effective solution.
Picophotonics microchip technology delivers high-performance short pulses with stable beam quality, making it ideal for portable systems, aerial applications, and precision tabletop instruments.
