CryLaS was founded in 2004 as a spin-off from Crystal GmbH – which in turn emerged in 1990 from the research and development department of the television electronics plant in Berlin-Oberschöneweide. The first development steps in the field of solid-state lasers were already taken in the mid-1990s, until the shareholders finally decided to spin off the company in the early 2000s.

Diode-pumped solid-state lasers in the UV and DUV range in pulsed or continuous-wave operation are the central focus of the company and future development. Due to the participation at the New Laser Corporation in Berlin Teltow during 2006, a lot of experience was gained, mainly for the development of CW laser sources.

In the following years, we achieved ISO9001:2015 certification through our outstanding quality management. In addition, we steadily completed and continue to complete new product developments. The 266 nm continuous-wave lasers are regularly undergoing new development steps so that, as things stand today, a portfolio ranging from 10 mW to 1 W can be offered.
