The New Frontier in Ultrafast Fiber Laser Performance
Founded in 2016, Ampliconyx emerged as a spin-off from the Optoelectronics Research Centre at Tampere University of Technology – the heart of Finland’s photonics industry. The company has since become a pioneer in ultrafast fiber laser technology. Its name combines “amplifying” and “cone”, reflecting the company’s roots in tapered fiber technology. The company was founded by Dr. Valery Filippov and Prof. Yuriy Chamorovskiy, who invented and patented the groundbreaking Tapered Double-Clad Fiber (T-DCF) technology after a decade of dedicated research. Today, Ampliconyx develops, manufactures and delivers high-performance gain modules, fiber lasers and amplifiers for the 1 and 2 µm wavelength ranges based on active T-DCF technology. Our solutions are designed for demanding high-power applications across industrial, medical, scientific, defense and aerospace photonics.
Ampliconyx combines proprietary Tapered Double-Clad Fiber (T-DCF) technology with specialized engineering expertise. We not only develop but also manufacture high-power and ultrafast fiber-based amplifier modules and laser systems spanning from kW to MW peak powers.
Conventional fiber lasers face increasing nonlinear effects when scaling to higher power. T-DCF technology addresses this challenge by enabling single-mode beam quality in large-core fibers. It helps mitigate nonlinear effects while maintaining high beam quality and enabling further power and pulse-energy scaling.
From ready-to-use gain modules to customized fiber lasers and amplifiers, we combine advanced fiber technology with application-specific engineering. Our systems are used in semiconductor processing, medical OEM, biophotonics, defense & aerospace, research & quantum, and LiDAR & sensing. These applications demand precision, stability and reliability.
Key milestones in the development of active T-DCF technology and Ampliconyx
Since its founding, Ampliconyx has grown from an academic spin-off into an industrial manufacturer of high-performance fiber-based laser and amplifier solutions. Today, we combine fiber technology, laser development and specialized in-house engineering with manufacturing capabilities across the complete production chain.
Together with CeramOptec, we cover the complete manufacturing process. This includes active fiber preform design, fiber drawing, precision tapering, post-processing and packaging of custom LMA and active T-DCF components. In-house capabilities in precision mechanics, optical assembly and high-speed control electronics enable us to develop and manufacture complete gain modules, fiber lasers and amplifiers.
Ampliconyx collaborates with research institutions, technology companies, and industry partners across the international laser and photonics community to advance high-performance fiber laser technologies.
Through these collaborations, we combine expertise in ultrafast and high-power laser development with shared research and development activities. This close exchange helps bridge the gap between fundamental research and industrial application.
Our collaborative approach supports continuous advances in beam quality, system efficiency, and scalable laser architectures. At the same time, it enables the development of solutions for demanding industrial and scientific applications.
Together with our partners, we contribute to the development of next-generation fiber laser technologies with a focus on performance, reliability, and practical application.
Backed by proprietary T-DCF technology and in-house engineering, we work with customers worldwide to develop high-performance fiber laser solutions for demanding applications. We look forward to learning more about your project and discussing how we can support your next photonics innovation.
