Menhir Photonics

🎄✨ Ending 2024 with a great celebration and so much excitement for 2025! ✨🎄 This year, we wrapped things up with an unforgettable Christmas party with axe-throwing at Axtra - urban axe throwing ! 🪓🎉 It was the perfect way to have fun and celebrate all our achievements, and our growing team. We really went all out in 2024 and smashed our goals in so many ways! 🚀 So many new and cutting-edge lasers were delivered. Thank you for all our partners to make this happen (CyberRidge, Enlightra, CSEM, TEM Messtechnik GmbH, neoLASE GmbH and Cycle GmbH in particular, and all the others too). We built stronger collaborations and were able to deliver better products to boarder and boarder markets outside the laboratory. 🏗️ Huge preparation going-on for our big move to a new location in Q2 2025—a space ready for growth with > 160m2 of professional clean-room! We are getting ready for our full scale-up in 2025. 🤝 Such a great team with 6 more people in 2024, and many more to come in 2025. A huge thank you to our incredible team and partners again for making this year amazing. An even brighter year is coming and we are looking foward 2025! 🥂 See you all at #PhotonicsWest2025 🇺🇸. We will present our developments at 1550nm with our 10GHz laser, but also our latest 1030nm developments. So many great products and applications enabled, and many more to come. #TeamSpirit #Innovation #Growth #YearEnd SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics

🚀 A groundbreaking new cleanroom for Menhir Photonics is on the way!! We’re thrilled to announce the construction of our ISO 6-7-8 Clean Room ✨, a 160 sqm state-of-the-art facility designed to revolutionize our laser manufacturing and photonic component assembly processes. Launching in early 2025, this cleanroom will take our production capabilities to new heights and keep us leading the way in high quality lasers. A massive thank you to Galvani Srl 👷♂️ for their incredible expertise in designing this ambitious project! We can’t wait to see it take shape. 🙌 And, of course, a huge shoutout to UBS 💳 for believing in our vision and providing the financial support to make it happen. Thank you Thomas and Robert. The countdown has begun – stay tuned for more updates as we bring this exciting project to life! 💡 Let’s build the future of photonics together! #Innovation #Photonics #CleanRoom #Teamwork #Gratitude

An amazing week in Colorado for our team, Florian and Khalid☀!! 🚀 Strong traction for our 1.03 µm ultra-low noise seeder across many applications: #FrequencyComb and #Frontend for lasers. 🤝 So many productive visits with happy customers and partners – the connections we made and insights we gathered are invaluable for our next developments. 💪 Proud to see that our first MENHIR-1550 lasers at 1 GHz are still running 24/7 after nearly five years in the labs of Gregory Rieker and Scott Diddams. A true example of #LaserMadeToLast. Thank you to everyone for your time and the discussions. Looking forward to more impactful collaborations! #Quantum #1550nm #1030nm #LowNoise #Innovation #CustomerSuccess #Teamwork #Colorado

Congrats to Jonas Heidrich for this interview, and for all the work done our #MENHIR1030 and neoLASE GmbH!!! Getting a boost for our 1030nm seeder 🚀 Great partneship and direct added values to our joined customers !!! Using neoLASE GmbH amplifiers, the MENHIR-1030 can be esaily amplified to 100W or more, while conserving its low noise properties and good beam quality. A unique and simple solution to boost the power of Menhir Photonics seeder at 1030nm, with the modular amplifiers from neolase. Thank you Antonio Castelo, PhD for the interview. #1030nm #amplifier #lownoise
