Laser Power Microlasers, a division of Laser Power Corporation, designs and manufactures high-power, visible and infrared Diode-Pumped Solid-State laser systems for OEM and Research applications. Laser Power's miniaturized solid-state microlasers offer significant advantages over conventional solid-state and gas lasers due to their small size, longer life, and greater energy efficiency, and are designed for use in Medical, Telecommunications, Projection Displays, and other applications.

The Company's Laser Power Microlasers division occupies a 1400 square foot Clean Room manufacturing facility at the Company's San Diego headquarters. Laser crystal fabrication and thin-film coating are provided by LPC's Laser Power Optics division. The compact microlaser devices are assembled to exacting design in a clean environment and then sealed against contamination and moisture providing an environmentally robust laser package. The finished laser systems are subjected to stringent Quality Assurance evaluation including a 48-hour burn-in period.

Laser Power Microlasers products include high power Red, Green, and Blue DPSS lasers, CW infrared microlasers, and 1550 nanometer laser sources for Fiber-Optic Communications systems. The Company's Green Microlaser is believed to offer the highest power per unit volume of Green visible emission with a plug efficiency of about 5%. The Company's Blue Microlaser is believed to be the highest power, all solid-state Blue laser in existence. And the Company's DPSS Telecommunications lasers offer a cost-competitive, exceptionally low-noise, and high-power alternative to conventional DFB semiconductor lasers and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs).
