LITILIT Secures €8 Million Loan to Develop Powerful FEMODA Femtosecond Laser System

FEMODA is designed to make advanced laser technology more accessible and easier to use. The company believes the system could help speed up the adoption of femtosecond lasers and enable new applications in different industries.

The total value of the project is €10 million, with commercialisation planned for the second half of 2029. LITILIT has also recently started construction of a large-scale femtosecond laser facility in Vilnius.

Nikolajus Gavrilinas, CEO of LITILIT, says that the new system will significantly expand the applications of femtosecond lasers. “Currently, femtosecond lasers are mostly used in manufacturing high-value small parts. Our new laser system will open new applications in existing large-scale industries, such as the mass production of metal tools and the formation of specialised coatings on large surfaces, like aircraft or car bodies. It will also speed up current femtosecond laser applications, from consumer electronics to displays and chips,”

“All this adds complexity and limits where lasers can be used. We’re building a system that combines the control electronics, optics, and cooling into a single industrial unit that can easily integrate into any factory. Our new modular platform will be less sensitive to temperature, humidity, and vibration, and its modules can be combined into a more powerful system. If one fails, only that module needs replacing – not the whole system,” Gavrilinas noted.

Founded in 2015, LITILIT is a femtosecond laser company that develops and manufactures advanced lasers. Its patented technology is designed to support large-scale production and make it easier to integrate the lasers into industrial systems.

The company’s technology is based on several patents developed by co-founders Kęstutis Regelskis, Nerijus Rusteika, and Gavrilinas. They developed the technology in close cooperation with the Centre for Physical Sciences and Technology (FTMC) in Vilnius.

According to LITILIT, FEMODA is designed to make femtosecond laser systems easier to scale for industrial use. The system aims to deliver up to 1,000 watts of optical power.

The power will be divided across 10 to 20 separate beam channels, with each channel able to deliver femtosecond laser pulses to a different point on a production line. According to Gavrilinas, FEMODA could become one of the most powerful modular industrial laser systems.
