LIMO Lissotschenko Mikrooptik GmbH
Company Description
Founded in 1992 - 220 employees - 24 nations - more than 300 patents
At LIMOs headquarters in Dortmund, Germany, an international team of more than 200 engineers, physicists, technicians and many other specialized staff develops, manufactures & distributes micro optics, optical systems, diode lasers & laser systems. LIMO was founded near Paderborn in 1992, relocated to the “Technologiezentrum Dortmund” in 1995 and operates today from industrial park “Dortmund Wickede”, located in the direct neighborhood of the Dortmund airport. On 10,000 m² floor space, LIMO runs approximately 2000 m² of clean room and 800 m² of in-house metal machine shops. At present LIMO holds more than 300 patents.
We regard ourselves as strategic partner to leading companies using laser photons. Our mission is to make business partners in the materials processing & photonic industries more successful with our cutting edge technologies. We are world-market leader in diode laser optics and have been awarded for this technology with the “world’s first innovation award 2007”. (Innovationspreis der deutschen Wirtschaft 2007) A laser beam can be effectively shaped and directed by the use of this award-winning technique – therefore, it is possible to create, e.g., linear or rectangular beam shapes. The following industries benefit from our customized solutions: Microlithography, medical equipment, photonics (solid-state and fiber lasers), flat panel display- and photovoltaic production, automotive manufac

| Always in the right light - Solar cell and wafer production: Line laser provides optimum illumination
"Trust but check yourself!" The Russian saying describes an important aspect of every high-precision production: the obligation of quality assurance. This check is particularly demanding when it comes to wafers and solar cells for which fast, contact-free methods of quality testing - such as photoluminescence (PL) measurement and micro-crack testing - are particularly well suited. One thing in favour of inline testing is that quality control is performed during the production process without interrupting it. This way, productivity can be increased and the costs of a component can be reduced.
L³ LIMO Line Laser®: Quality check under homogenous light
However, the success of these inline tests stands and falls with the correct, homogeneous illumination of the test sample, for which the LIMO line lasers have been developed. The L³ LIMO Line Laser generates a very homogeneous illuminated line (~ 165 x 3 mm²; homogeneity: up to 95 percent) for scanning a solar cell 156 millimetres by 156 millimetres in size. The high beam intensity shortens the exposure time. The wavelength of 790 or 808 nanometres also makes the spectral separation of the laser beam and PL signal easier. This is a very important prerequisite because it is due to this property alone that PL systems can measure with laser illumination very quickly and reliably. Unlike electro-luminescence systems, PL is a contact-free testing system and thus destruction-free. This gentle measuring method reduces the costs for mechanical setup and prevents damage.
At the same time LIMO offers beam shaping modules which homogeneously illuminate a complete field under a certain angle. The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (ISE) in Freiburg has already successfully tested the interaction between high-performance diode lasers and the beam shaping modules.
LIMO also supplies both solutions - line lasers and beam shaping modules - with customised line and field sizes. You will have the chance to familiarise yourself better with the product at Photonics West 2012 (North Hall D, booth #4314).

| Paul Harten becomes Managing Director of LIMO
Dr. Paul Harten, long-standing Prokurist (person vested with general commercial power of representation) and CMO at LIMO, has been named third Managing Director as of 1st October 2011. Since he joined LIMO in 2002 Paul Harten has left his own decisive mark on the company's external image with his personality and dedication. He will immediately provide Managing Directors Dr. Vitalij Lissotschenko (founder and owner) and Dr. Lutz Aschke with more support than he has previously been able to do as Prokurist. Years of day-to-day experience has shown that the three work well together at management level. Dr. Vitalij Lissotschenko, as the academic brain, is responsible for future technologies, Dr. Lutz Aschke oversees production, research and development and finances. Dr. Paul Harten's areas of responsibility so far have been - and will remain to be in future - marketing, sales, IT and project and quality management.

| Medical laser with two parallel wavelengths
At the BIOS 2011 (booth #8601) LIMO presents the particularly compact diode laser with a wavelength of 1470 nm that has been supplemented by an additional parallel wavelength: 980 nm, 940 nm or 810 nm. This long established standard wavelength on the medical market, combined with the expedient wavelength of 1470 nm, can be individually controlled. The power rating of the fiber-coupled laser is 15 W and 30 W. On request, a power rating of >100 W can also be supplied.
The dimensions of the potential-free housing are greatly reduced but, however, completely equipped: protective window, fiber contact switch, monitor diode and pilot laser are already integrated. The combination of a compact design with all additional and safety features makes it suitable for integration into OEM appliances, without causing additional development and production costs. Furthermore, the high-performance laser module makes it possible for the end user to operate at practically all working and ambient temperatures and in nearly all operating modes of cw up to the most varied pulsed conditions.
Without exception, the LIMO diode laser modules are maintenance-free, so that flexible warranty periods can be provided. This has the advantage that costs are completely eliminated in the event of replacement.
The product is optimally suitable in the end use for medical treatment in the field of modern surgery and urology. The two wavelengths make higher absorption possible of the laser in water and haemoglobin. In addition to the high removal rates, the treatment can be carried out ambulant, quick and with care. Further advantages for operative treatment are:
- safe and high precision treatment (less bleeding, protection of the adjacent tissue)
- minimum postoperative complaints
- quick, uncomplicated healing (no stitches)
