The main activities are based on two pillars: We have developed several proprietary de-
Laser development, Laser Material Studies and signs, the most important being called DBMC
Laser Applications. The development of new (double-beam mode controlling), that have
laser sources is based on diode pumped sol- (has) resulted in extremely efficient and com-
id state lasers (DPSSL) for applications in re- pact diode-laser with up to several tens of

trol. Our investigations are focused mainly on operation. Some highlights of the last peri-
controlling the temporal, spectral and spatial od are shown below:
