## About

Based in Québec, Canada, and founded in 2017 by its CEO, Louis-Rafaël Robichaud, and CTO, Simon Duval, Femtum operates as a provider of selective laser microprocessing and mid-IR spectroscopy to address the needs of industrial manufacturers and scientific teams. In January 2024, Femtum raised CAD 5 million in seed funding col-ed by ELAS Technology Investment and i4 Capital, with participation from Quantacet, Boreal Ventures, Eureka Ventures, Hamamatsu Ventures, and VIGO Ventures. 

Femtum's product line includes a range of mid-infrared fiber lasers, such as ultrafast lasers, ns lasers, tunable lasers, and amplifiers. The products are designed to deliver high precision and speed, benefiting from mid-IR absorption bands and enabling selective laser-matter interaction. With watt-level average power, diffraction-limited beam quality, and short pulses down to 100 fs, Femtum's lasers cover the 2.8 to 3.4 µm range, providing versatility for various applications.

The company plans to use the seed funding to speed up the introduction of mid-infrared fiber lasers designed for semiconductor makers into the market.
