During the last few years diode lasers have replaced the Helium-Neon laser in many mass applications (e.g., barcode scanner, marking, adjusting, aligning). The global reduction in Helium-Neon laser sales means a great challenge for the few remaining manufacturers. Whereas, on the one hand, niche products require a resourceful mind to ensure the continuity of raw material supplies, on the other hand, many applications in high-precision measuring applications (e.g. interferometers and spectrometers) are inconceivable without the properties of the Helium-Neon laser - properties which solid state lasers cannot achieve. He-Ne lasers meet the constantly growing application needs for mode and frequency stability as well as resistance to magnetic fields. Growing demands on quality in an environment of shrinking volumes, defines a new framework of conditions and challenges for today’s market. The He-Ne laser has ceased to be a volume product; it has become a selected component with high application potential to meet specific high customer demands. LASOS is facing up to this challenge and has invested in flexible, modern and highly specialised gas laser production. Absolute focus on the customer is the principle by which LASOS is guided. Customers are highly appreciative when their specific requirements are met, the products are of the high quality they expect and they get good value for their money. You can rely on an efficient and experienced team of development specialists and the extent of in-house manufacturing in Jena, Germany, supports direct access to most different production technologies. In addition to the customised range, we supply a large number of standard HeNe types that can also be used as genuine substitutes for existing and obsolete lasers from other well-known manufacturers. With state-of-the art production facilities and German design, engineering and production quality, we can offer a secure modern supply of HeNe laser products and customised OEM solutions for many years to come and for those niche applications where a HeNe is the only solution.
