Optical Delay Lines
with highest precision and repeatability

We design and build optical delay lines in Aachen, Germany. Our focus is high mechanical precision, low optical loss, and long-term stability in demanding laboratory and accelerator environments.

We design and build optical delay lines in Aachen, Germany. Our focus is high mechanical precision, low optical loss, and long-term stability for demanding laboratory and accelerator environments. Our work began with customized delay systems for the particle accelerators COSY (FZ Jülich) and FAIR (GSI Darmstadt), which has shaped our approach to mechanical design and optical performance. The underlying design principles, drift-compensation methods, and integration aspects are documented in a technical publication. Our delay lines incorporate loss and drift compensation, including temperature-induced fiber length correction, enabling stable operation in applications where timing reproducibility is critical. We are a small engineering company (registered sole proprietorship) and keep development, machining, assembly, and testing local in Aachen. This allows us to offer short lead times, iterate quickly, and tailor devices to specific experimental setups.
