Applications Lab

JPSA Laser Applications Laboratory

Applications Lab JPSA maintains a laser applications lab and laser processing facilities to provide customers with the highest quality UV excimer and DPSS laser micro fabrication and microprocessing services. Our Manchester, NH lab focuses on high brightness (energy density on target), high precision, high throughput and a wide range of wavelengths, from the UV to near IR. To see examples of our applications lab micromachining capabilities, see the Applications Gallery page.

JPSA offers customers the latest in a new generation of short wavelength laser processing equipment. Our team of experienced Ph.D. laser scientists and engineers specialize in high-quality, innovative products and services for advanced manufacturing. We help our customers prototype their parts, help them with process development, micromachine the production runs for them and build industrial high-precision UV laser systems to make the parts at their facilities, when production volume warrants.
