Femtum is a Canadian manufacturer of mid-infrared fiber lasers for material processing and fundamental photonics. Thanks to its unique and proprietary technologies, the mid-IR spectral region (2.8-3.5 microns) has never been so accessible. We offer mid-IR pulsed fiber lasers, fiber amplifier (fs to CW), and tunable sources.
Scientific applications includes : supercontinuum generation, non-linear optics, quantum optics, spectroscopy, FTIR, remote sensing, microscopy.
Industrial applications includes : micromachining, micro-cutting, micro-drilling. micro-welding, laser etching, laser stripping, polymer processing (PET, PMMA, Polyimide, PP. PC), tissue ablation, etc.

We back photonic breakthroughs. Before its obvious. Spent 30 years in deep tech investments, with past 9 years fully dedicated to photonics ecosystem.
- Pioneers among investors when we decided to focus on Photonics in 2017
- Over that period we verified more than 1,000 photonic projects across Europe, Asia, and North America
- These companies have collectively raised over $3 billion in funding (only in Europe)
- Exposition to over 40% of all relevant photonic deals in Europe
- Through years of hands-on work with companies, we recognized what consistently works - and built our fundraising process around it
- €100M+ raised by backed companies
