IPS Lasers

Founded in August 2003, Innovative Photonic Solutions (IPS) provides high-performance, semiconductor, diode light source systems based upon our proprietary wavelength stabilization technologies. Our Hybrid External Cavity Laser (HECL) allows us to effectively select a specific “slice” of the spectrum. This “spectrum slicing” technology has been successfully applied to both single-mode and multi-mode lasers and super-luminescent diodes (SLDs). It offers our customers the ability to define both the wavelength and spectral bandwidth, along with output power. This technology has enabled the widespread use of narrow-linewidth semiconductor laser sources in numerous diverse applications, especially the field of Raman spectroscopy.

Just as important as our technical design capacities, we take pride in offering superior customer support and on-time delivery. Our philosophy is that our customer’s success is directly linked to our success. We partner with our clients to offer custom and semi-custom solutions that are ideal for their systems. Because we design and manufacture “in-house,” and our products are modular by design, we have tremendous flexibility and can offer this support on many different levels.

Our long history of innovation has commercialized products that range from components as basic as a TO-56 or 14-pin BF packaged diodes, to OEM modules including drive electronics and software, to UL/CE and IEC certified lasers to OEM Raman spectroscopy engines to complete custom designed systems. Give us your toughest problems… we will give you Innovative Photonic Solutions.

IPS was acquired in 2018 by Metrohm AG of Herisau, Switzerland, to expand its spectroscopy portfolio with industry-leading solutions.

IPS offers over 50 standard wavelengths ranging from 405 nm to 1570 nm. Laser modules are available in single mode (TEM00)/single frequency (< 100 kHz FWHM) or multi-mode with power > 6W and can be ordered free space or fiber coupled. Their Hybrid External Cavity Laser (HECL) features high output powers, narrow spectral bandwidth and enables the customer the ability to define the wavelength and spectral bandwidth, along with output power. In addition to bringing outstanding products to the market, IPS is committed to offering a world-class level of quality, customer care and service.
