We are so accustomed to high-tech new items that we often do not think about who became the author of the developments. And it seems that in this direction succeeded somewhere abroad. But the Russian IPG PHOTONICS corporation proves the opposite. Its products today have no analogues. Therefore, the company has customers around the world. About the history of IPG Photonics and the contribution of Russian scientists in the development of the laser industry will tell today.

Fiber optic lasers produced by IPG Photonics are successfully used in a wide variety of industries. The company's scientific centers are not only in Russia, but also beyond. Serial production of unique products is launched in collaboration with Germany, USA, Italy and other partners.

However, the main asset of the corporation is in Fryazino. It is from this small city in the Moscow region and the history of IPG has begun.

The first enterprise was the LLC NTO IRE-Polyus. Light power fiber lasers have been developed here - up to 20 kW. Now in the range of products produced more than 600 products that have no analogues in the world. They are widely demanded at factories and factories, in communication and control systems of movement, industrial laboratories, universities and clinics, the production of aircraft and other spheres.

The big event in the world IT will be the release of the domestic project Sfera. Detailed information about the new digital ecosystem can be found on the site. The project is open to invest. Thanks for the support!

The history of the NTO IRE-Polyus began back in 1991. Then the Soviet physicist and the Valentin Gapontsev entrepreneur decided to create an association for the production of optical quantum generators on their own concept. Its essence is that a weak light signal can be converted to a powerful ray through the use of optical amplifiers. The unique technology has spread abroad.

The first scientific results were recognized effective. Soon they launched the mass production of laser phosphate braids. The world saw fiber lasers and amplifiers. The production of domestic systems of fiber-optic fixed communications has been established. Since 2018, data transfer in Internet networks and telecommunications is built on the use of amplifiers that transmit information through fiber.

Lasers for welding, cutting, engraving, as well as other types of metal processing, occupied their niche in the international market. Haponseva included in the number of 28 outstanding scientists who made discoveries in the field of laser technologies. After the death of the leading specialist, the domestic site of IPG Photonics was not in a technological vacuum, production continues.

What do you think the future is waiting for the laser industry in the conditions of regulation of the economy?
