October 3, 2022 marked the end of an era for Access Laser with the retirement of its founder and president Dr. Yong Zhang. Yong led Access Laser for more than 23 years, shaping the company into an innovator in CO₂ laser technology that goes beyond a simple dollar-per-watt power source. After working together with our team, and engaging in extensive negotiations, TRUMPF acquired an 85% stake in Access Laser Company. This was a huge event for everyone at Access Laser. We had joined not only one of the largest photonics companies in the world, but also one that separates itself from competitors through a culture of integrity and respect.
Access Lasers’ success with application-specific solutions led to its acquisition by the TRUMPF Group, one of the largest photonics technology companies in the world. This allows Access Lasers to enhance the processes and capacities demanded by the EUV semiconductor industry, such as expanding into a state-of-the-art production facility with more than 5,000 square meters of ISO7 manufacturing space.
With our drive for innovation, Access Laser, together with its partners, pioneered EUV lithography technology and developed groundbreaking innovations such as the industry’s unique single-line, Q-switched CO2 laser.
Access Laser Company introduced stable and tunable low-power CO2 lasers from 500 mW to 20 W, providing a level of performance previously thought impossible for such compact gas lasers. To this day, we are a industry leader in power stability (<±1%) and wavelength tunability (>80 lines) of low-power RF-excited CO2 lasers.
Access Laser Company was founded by Dr. Yong Zhang, PhD, in Arlington, Washington. The company focused on providing application-specific CO2 laser solutions for industrial and scientific customers.
