Few-Cycle Inc.
few-cycle Inc. is a young Canadian spin-off company developing optical technologies for ultrafast laser science. Our aim is to redefine optical parametric amplification through the protected FOPA technology. We also offer unique complementary femtosecond laser upgrades based on adaptable hollow-core fiber systems for pulse compression and other novel optical systems. The vision of the company is to further boost the laser performance to higher average power based on Yb-pump laser technology and to transfer these world leading research results into reliable, user friendly laser systems. To achieve this, few-cycle will implement a novel laser amplification scheme called Frequency domain Optical Parametric Amplification – FOPA. Additionally to the development of entire laser systems, few-cycle can provide customized solutions for implementing FOPA technology (IP protected) on existing laser sources. Furthermore, few-cycle also provides complementary laser upgrade schemes like the newly developed hollow-core fiber compression setup.
