Laser Marking in Photonics and Medical Technology

Precision at the Speed of Light – for Optical Components and Medical Devices.

Synova Light and Sensor Technology combines advanced manufacturing techniques to ensure the highest precision and quality in both the marking and production of components.

At Synova, highly specialized laser technology meets engineering know-how in photonics. With our precise laser marking processes—such as Nd:YAG lasers—we set standards in the permanent, material-friendly, and high-resolution marking of optical and medical components.

Our infrastructure facilitates not only the engraving-free marking of sensitive optical components but also depth-accurate engravings where required—always with a focus on functionality, legibility, and traceability.

Laser Marking for Medical Technology

In medical technology, traceability is not a “nice-to-have” but a regulatory mandate. We implement biocompatible, permanent UDI (Unique Device Identification) markings on stainless steel, titanium, and high-performance plastics. These markings are integrated directly into the material structure, ensuring they are abrasion-resistant and suitable for sterilization. Complex geometries or coated surfaces pose no obstacle for our laser-based processes.

Precision Marking for Photonic Components

In photonics, every micrometer counts—especially when marking optical assemblies, mounts, lens barrels, or fiber modules. Our laser marking is contactless, distortion-free, and has a minimal heat-affected zone to avoid compromising optical properties. Logos, serial numbers, calibration marks, or polarity indicators are realized with the highest resolution, even on demanding materials like anodized aluminum, stainless steel, or engineering plastics.

Your Advantages at a Glance

Precision in Every Detail: Ideal for complex geometries and delicate components.

Synova Light and Sensor Technology offer you the complete process chain from a single source—from development to high-precision marking. Trust in our experience in combining laser marking, photonics, and medical technology.

Why Choose Light Guides from Synova Light and Sensor Technology?

Quality “Made in Germany” pays off. Thanks to our proprietary manufacturing and testing processes, we offer custom solutions for numerous applications, from laboratories to aerospace.

Excellent Performance

Optimal performance across various spectral ranges (white light, UV, NIR), achieved through state-of-the-art manufacturing processes and custom concepts tailored specifically for your application area.

Temperature-Resistant

Whether for cold or warm application environments, thanks to special jacketing, our glass fibers remain stable at temperatures ranging from -190°C to 390°C.

Acid-Resistant

Our light guides withstand adverse conditions thanks to their high chemical resistance.

Stabil & flexible

Durch die Flexibilität der Lichtleiter macht Ihnen Druck nichts aus. Die Biegefestigkeit ist enorm und sehr kleine Biegeradien sind möglich, so bleiben die Lichtleiter lange sicher im Einsatz.

Sustainable

Synova Light and Sensor Technology is committed to using the most environmentally friendly manufacturing, logistics, and communication processes possible. Think green!
