Corporate Website: https://www.few-cycle.com/

few-cycle Inc. few‑cycle Inc. was founded in 2013 as a spin‑off from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique (INRS‑EMT). The company is based in Varennes, Canada, with its laser research laboratory located within the INRS building. few-cycle Inc. develops optical technologies for ultrafast laser science, with core expertise in generating high-power femtosecond laser pulses from the deep ultraviolet (DUV) to the mid-infrared (mid-IR). These pulses can comprise light waves with only a few oscillations, lasting just a few femtoseconds (1 fs = 10⁻¹⁵ s) - timescale is so short that one femtosecond relates to one second roughly as one second relates to the age of the universe.
Our core strength is curiosity: seeking fundamentally different solutions rather than only incrementally optimizing established approaches. In this spirit, we are redefining nonlinear frequency conversion with our HYPerspectral Ultrafast Source (HYPUS™), a radically different approach that addresses key limitations of conventional parametric sources. This development builds on our core pulse-compression technology: a highly versatile platform based on stretched hollow-core fibers (few-cycle™ HCF).
The few-cycle™ HCF system can be tailored through fiber length and inner diameter to achieve the desired compression factor across a wide range of input pulse parameters. Experimentally measured transmission for multi-mJ femtosecond pulses can reach up to 97%. The platform supports extreme performance in both input pulse energy (50 µJ to 100 mJ) and average power (up to 300 W at 1030 nm).
The HYPUS™ provides a simplified, efficient alternative to optical parametric amplification, delivering six fully synchronized channels from 200 nm to beyond 10 µm, with pulse energies above 5 µJ per channel and timing jitter as low as 1.1 fs.
To measure ultrashort pulses across a wide spectral range, we developed the Orchestra™ FROG: a unique compact device for pulse characterization from 200 nm to 2 µm.
