Menlo Systems GmbH

Menlo Systems GmbH is a spin-off from the renowned Max-Planck-Institute for Quantum Optics. Professor T.W. Hänsch, director of the institute, and his co-workers have pioneered a revolutionary and simple technique for measuring the frequency of light: the Optical Frequency Synthesizer. This invention has been called "...the biggest advance in precision electromagnetic measurements since people began to measure laser frequencies in the seventies..."

The Optical Frequency Synthesizer FC8004 enables the user to measure optical frequencies with the highest accuracy with a table top instrument. With its base technology numerous world records in precision measurements have been achieved, e.g. in the determination of the Rydberg constant.

We have completed the product spectrum with our femtosecond fiber lasers C-Fiber and M-Fiber. The state-of-the art instruments focus on ease-of-use without sacrificing performance. Various models for applications like medical diagnostics, Terahertz spectroscopy, seeding of amplifiers and test & measurement applications are available.
