Since its foundation as a laser manufacturer in 1966, Coherent Inc has become the technology and market leader in a number of areas.

The company, which is headquartered in Santa Clara, California, has R & D and manufacturing facilities at a number of locations around the world – in Europe these are in Germany and Great Britain. Germany plays a central role for the California headquartered company. In the long term, all excimer lasers and a considerable proportion of solid state lasers are developed and produced in Goettingen and Luebeck. Primarily through its strong engagement in Germany, Coherent has successfully completed its laser portfolio and has become a fully fledged solution provider.

Coherent provides solutions for fields such as material processing, microelectronics, scientific research, medical and instrumentation.

The name Coherent has become a synonym for the combination of superior reliability and cutting-edge performance.

A global service and sales network supports customers in both industry and science.

Ongoing developments in lifetimes and reliability of the laser sources lead to a continuous improvement of performance and cost reductions. As an example, industrial UV excimer lasers for mass production are available up to 540W output power and more than a year continuous operation in 3-shift-environment.

Microelectronics e.g. flat panel display, marking, inspection, metrology, photovoltaics Materials Processing e. g. cutting, welding, marking, rapid prototyping Scientific Research e.g. Multiphoton excitation, high resolution spectroscopy OEM & Instrumentation z. B. cytometry, microscopy, DNA Sequencing, refractive surgery
