IMRA America, Inc. - ultrafast and short-pulsed fiber lasers

IMRA America, Inc. is a world leader in the development, manufacturing, and application of ultrafast and short-pulsed fiber lasers with over 18 years of R&D history.

Research, development, prototyping and manufacturing is carried out at IMRA's Ann Arbor Headquarters. Here IMRA has assembled a world-class research and engineering team, which is working in cooperation with leading research and development groups in universities, government institutions, and companies in the United States and all over the world.

IMRA's turn-key fiber lasers combine state-of-the-art design with ultra-compact packaging, high stability, and maintenance-free operation. They are designed for use in material research and processing, semiconductor inspection and repair, multiphoton applications, telecommunication, test and measurement, instrumentation and medical diagnostics and therapy.

The Femtolite™ ultrafast fiber laser series, the first IMRA America product line, is manufactured in Kariya, Japan, at a facility close to the headquarters of IMRA's parent company, Aisin Seiki.

Since 2004, the FCPA µJewel™ ultrafast laser series has been produced in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Other laser models and accessories are being added to the manufacturing line-up to keep up with market demand.

The lasers are distributed worldwide through IMRA's own sales forces in the United States and Japan and with an international network of sales representatives.

IMRA America has developed an intellectual property portfolio of more than 80 national and international patents.

In 2000, IMRA America established its Applications Research Laboratory (ARL) in Fremont, California. There IMRA collaborates on pulsed laser micromachining applications with the semiconductor, display, as well as biomedical, medical device, and other high-tech manufacturing industries. A similar facility at the headquarters in Ann Arbor opened in 2005.

IMRA has the scientific expertise, technical know-how, and international resources to adapt ultrafast fiber laser technology to a wide range of applications.
