ILA_5150 GmbH, Germany
| ILA GmbH was founded in 1995 as a small spin-off company of the Berlin Technical University. For years, the company was situated in Jülich, having customers in the field of LDA and PIV all around the globe. ILA_5150 GmbH was officially founded in April 2016, as the PIV branch of the former ILA GmbH and is located next to the city centre in Aachen, Germany. This was done after an internal restructuration process showed the potential to separate the two branches (LDA and PIV), to be able to focus more on the respective technology. They have more than 20 years of experience in supplying tailor-fit PIV solutions to their customers across the world.
They have broad expertise in the fields of:
- Mechanical Design
- Optics
- Electronics
- Software Development
They also have developed complex integrated PIV systems like RoboPIV- fully automated, tunnel management integrated PIV Solution that is up and running in wind tunnels of the major Formula 1 teams.
ILA_5150 GmbH can offer integrated PIV solutions and individual PIV components like:
- Cameras
- Software
- LED Pulsing systems
- Timing units/ Synchronizer
- Move & Control Units
- Optical components including light arm and Light Sheet units
- Seeding/Particles
Light Age Inc., USA
| Light Age, Inc. is a privately held US corporation, incorporated in California with principal offices in New Jersey. Light Age is a global supplier of advanced and state-of-the-art laser systems and related technologies. Today, Light Age is the leading supplier of alexandrite laser systems worldwide for almost every application from fundamental research to laser hair removal to atmospheric lidar. Products are sold under their own brands, OEM, and embedded products distributed by other device manufacturers. In addition to volume product manufacturing, Light Age develops custom laser systems and new laser capabilities under contract and in strategic partnerships.
In 1977 Light Age scientists discovered the world's first commercially useful, tunable solid-state laser technology. Since then they have continued to make landmark advancements that have permitted the critical control of almost all laser characteristics: power, pulse energy, wavelength, bandwidth, spatial and temporal pulse properties, and highly efficient directly diode-pumped laser systems. Laser systems based on these advancements have been developed to serve a myriad of specific applications in the medical, industrial, scientific, and government systems markets. Among its many honors, Light Age was selected as one of the very first awardees of the US Department of Commerce's Advanced Technology Program.
Tech-Éclair can supply the following systems manufactured by Light Age:
- Pulsed Alexandrite Laser
- Advanced Raman Converter
- Photoacoustic Tomography
