Femtosecond Laser Systems

⚡ Industry-Leading Femtosecond Laser Technology Since 1987

Clark-MXR, Inc. has been at the forefront of femtosecond laser technology for over three decades, delivering high-performance femtosecond laser systems that set the standard in precision, reliability, and long-term value. With deep expertise in both fiber and Ti:Sapphire laser architectures, our solutions are trusted worldwide by researchers, manufacturers, and integrators pushing the limits of what’s possible in science and industry.

Our story began in 1987, when Clark introduced the world’s first commercial femtosecond laser system—marking a pivotal milestone in the evolution of laser science. This breakthrough laid the foundation for even greater innovation following our merger with MXR. In 1992, Clark-MXR achieved another first by releasing the industry’s first commercial Ti:Sapphire femtosecond laser, a technology that remains integral to many advanced applications today.

Fast forward to 2003, and Clark-MXR reshaped the landscape again with the launch of the first computer-controlled ultrafast laser system. This pioneering move revolutionized how users interacted with laser systems—introducing automation, programmability, and ease of integration to a field that had previously relied on manual processes.

🧠 Intelligent Control That Evolves With You

In 2015, we launched our most advanced control platform yet. Designed from the ground up to support modern manufacturing and research environments, this system offers:

  • Complex synchronization capabilities for multi-device coordination
  • Customizable output sequencing to tailor performance to your exact workflow
  • Seamless system integration across various software and hardware ecosystems
  • Real-time monitoring via internet connectivity for remote diagnostics and optimization

What sets our controls apart isn’t just their capabilities—but their durability. Built with long lifecycle components, our control platforms are carefully designed to outlast trends in electronics, avoiding the pitfalls of chip obsolescence and supply chain volatility. By proactively engineering around these risks, we help ensure your investment remains secure and serviceable for years to come.

🛠️ Built to Last—And Then Some

Reliability is more than a design goal at Clark-MXR—it’s a legacy. Many of our systems have remained fully operational in demanding environments for 20 years and counting. Our controllers are purposely designed to match the lifespan of the laser systems they govern, creating a seamless harmony in system longevity.

This alignment pays dividends across the entire lifecycle:

  • 💼 Less downtime thanks to proven, enduring components
  • 🗓️ Simplified maintenance and upgrade planning
  • 💰 Greater ROI through reduced system replacement costs

Whether you’re running a precision micromachining line, conducting materials research, or building a turnkey platform for industrial production, our solutions are built to scale with your ambition—not just today, but for decades to come.

🔌 Seamless Integration with Any Ecosystem

True flexibility means fewer limits. That’s why our controller is device-independent and fully compatible with any operating system, PLC, or control interface that supports network communication. No proprietary software requirements, no integration bottlenecks—just plug-and-play functionality that empowers automation teams to deploy with confidence.

From legacy infrastructure to cutting-edge installations, Clark-MXR systems meet you where you are and grow with you—making complexity manageable, and innovation sustainable.
