Incorporated in 1996, RPMC Lasers, Inc. was started to assist LDX Optronics generate worldwide attention to their high quality laser diode products. This allowed LDX Optronics to concentrate on technical challenges without the diversions of sales calls and marketing endeavors. LDX Optronics has succeeded nicely. With that success, we realized that we could do the same thing for other laser firms, and enjoy an economy of scale while doing it, and thus adding value for our primaries as well as for us. Over time, additional laser firms have been added to our list of primaries. We are happy to report that we have never been dismissed by a primary, but we know that this is one of the eventualities as some of our primaries grow larger and their needs change.
Dean Micke and Chuck Ratermann are the owners of RPMC Lasers. Both have extensive experience in the laser industry. We are very proud of the experienced staff we have assembled. We are OEM distributors of lasers and laser diodes, including some accessories like heatsinks and diode drivers. We do not offer finished systems. We try hard not to represent firms with competing products. We also differ from most distributor firms because we are not keen to represent many firms. Rather, our goal is to represent a few firms, and do it very effectively. And we sell at the manufacturer`s standard prices.

Teem Photonics is a privately-held company based near Grenoble, France. Spin-off from Schneider Electric founded in 1998, Teem Photonics is the leader in passively Q-switched microlasers as well as Photonics Integrated Circuits based on ion exchange technology.
The combination of passive Q-switching and microlaser technologies results in sources distinctive for sub nanosecond, high peak power pulses, generated from compact packages at high repetition rates. Wavelengths of operation are in the near infrared as well as the green and ultraviolet; applications include biophotonics, instrumentation, remote sensing, and material processing. Ion exchange integrated optic products consist of advanced passive and active waveguide circuits that are used to increase the performance and economics of packaged laser diodes.
Teem Photonics products are used in a variety of industrial and biophotonics applications. These include fluorescence, spectroscopy, gem marking, microdissection, communications, ranging, and as seeds for fiber lasers and supercontinuum generation.
Teem Photonics sells its products worldwide with offices and representatives in the Europe, Asia, the Middle East, the United States, and Canada. Teem Photonics has a wholly owned subsidiary, Teem Photonics USA, located in Massachusetts
For material processing even more than in other areas, Teem Photonics products offer picosecond class laser solutions at nanosecond economics. The narrow heat-affected-zone (HAZ) that may be generated with some materials is indeed negligible for a majority of applications. Picospark and PicoFlash series short sub-ns pulsewidth, stable, high repetition rate pulse trains are perfectly fitted to metal surface patterning and selective ablation of thin films (TCO patterning, LLO,..), or more generally high resolution micromachining processes. UV (355nm) and DUV (266nm) laser series can process virtually any type of materials and help minimizing your process quality dependence on the material itself.

Twente Solid State Technology (TSST) was founded in 1998 as a spin-off company from the University of Twente, and offers high quality thin film solutions. As a result TSST products can now be found around the world.
TSST wants to contribute to the progress in the worldwide scientific community of advanced thin film materials by providing state-of-the-art deposition equipment, with focus on pulsed laser deposition, and developing and sharing relevant expertise
The company is specialised in design and production of customised thin film deposition equipment, specifically Pulsed Laser Deposition equipment for advanced studies. An example is the use of Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED) under high-pressure conditions, which gives real-time information about the surface morphology during depositions.
Every system can be controlled through a central console, giving full control of all parameters involved. This allows the rapid replication of settings and depositions, which results a higher reliability in less time.
Apart from the equipment, the company also produces ceramic thin films, and offers services for research in the field of ceramic thin films, such as the surface treatment of ceramic substrates. TSST is able to provide these services due to the strong cooperation with the MESA+ institute at the University of Twente.
