Graefelfing (Munich), Germany -- TOPTICA Photonics has decided to rebrand its daughter company eagleyard Photonics into TOPTICA eagleyard. eagleyard is a leading manufacturer of high end laser diodes in the red/infrared regime (630 nm – 1120 nm).

eagleyard became part of the TOPTICA Photonics group in February 2013 and has since continued to operate separately under its own marketing brand and sales organization.

Dr. Thomas Renner (CSO TOPTICA Photonics) comments „We have enjoyed the cooperation with our friends and partners in Berlin for many years now. The new common brand will reflect both strong market positions and create even more synergies“.

The sales and distribution structure and website (www.toptica-eagleyard.com) however will remain unchanged and independent. The legal address and company leadership of eagleyard Photonics GmbH will also remain unchanged.

Michael Kneier, VP Sales at TOPTICA eagleyard adds: „We are very happy to combine our two strong brands. This gives us the opportunity to address even more markets with our strong technology and OEM capabilities for laser diodes“.

TOPTICA eagleyard focuses on laser diodes (components) – e.g. DFB’s, single mode, multi-mode, gain chip and tapered amplifier laser diodes for industry, life science, aerospace, defense and research.

TOPTICA Photonics AG focusses on lasers – e.g. diode lasers, femtosecond fiber lasers, frequency combs, THz systems etc. for quantum technology, biophotonics and materials inspection/processing.

TOPTICA eagleyard, with almost 50 employees, is located in Berlin/Adlershof in near vicinity of the Ferdinand-Braun-Institute (FBH), which is a close cooperation partner.
