Independent industrial and scientific laser service · New Jersey Mon–Fri 8:00–18:00 ET service@phasexlaser.com
Scientific laser systems

We engineer the laser system from source to measured result.

A scientific laser does not work alone. The output you can use depends on the source, the driver, the timing, the cooling, the beam delivery, the optomechanics, the motion, the controls, the safety chain and the measurement method. We integrate and support that whole system, in Parsippany, New Jersey.

We review project enquiries promptly and connect you directly with the engineer responsible for the work.

Where the value sits

A controller setpoint is not an optical measurement

An electronic trigger does not prove a seed pulse exists. A running chiller does not prove every thermal condition is correct. A visible beam path does not prove that alignment, polarization or frequency conversion is efficient. And a power reading means nothing until the detector, the wavelength response, the attenuation and the measurement point are known.

We treat a laser installation as one electro-optical-thermal-control system. Every project starts by defining the configuration, the operating envelope, the measurement method and the evidence that will count as acceptance. That is the difference between a room full of working instruments and an experiment that produces a number you can publish.

What we build

Five engagements

Each one has a written scope, a defined interface list and an agreed acceptance method.

01

Optical table and beam delivery

Table and breadboard layout, beam height and route planning, steering, expansion, attenuation, filtering and isolation, polarization and wavelength-specific component selection, shutters, beam dumps, enclosures and diagnostic pickoffs, fiber coupling and free-space interfaces, alignment and a documented optical layout.

02

Controls, timing and automation

Trigger and synchronization architecture, coordination of shutters, stages, scanners and detectors, instrument communication and vendor APIs, automated measurement sequences, data acquisition with logging and metadata, alarm and controlled-shutdown logic, and a control interface built around how the experiment is actually run.

03

Relocation and recommissioning

Inventory of lasers and optical components, a baseline of photographs, cable maps, settings and optical layout, a shutdown and disassembly plan, packing and utility coordination with defined rigging partners, then reassembly, optical realignment, controlled startup and comparison against the pre-move measurements that exist.

04

Safety control implementation

Enclosure and barrier integration, door interlock and laser enable logic, shutters, key control and emergency stop interfaces, warning indicators and operating-state signals, fault-state and reset behavior testing, and the documentation your institutional safety review needs.

05

Motion, sample positioning and fixturing

Motorized stages, scanners and sample positioning integrated with the optical path and the control layer, including fixturing and mounting designed for the experiment rather than adapted from a catalog.

06

System recovery and re-integration

When an instrument has to be brought back into service, the source is recovered and then re-integrated into the experiment with its interfaces, controls and acceptance measurement restored. Fault-level diagnosis is covered on the repair pages.

Have an experiment to build, move or automate?

Tell us the optical result you need and the constraints you are working inside. We respond with the next step.

What we work on

System classes, assessed by configuration

We take projects on technical feasibility rather than on a promise to cover every product ever built. The classes below are the ones this service is built around.

  • CW and pulsed laser sources, fiber and solid-state
  • Seed and amplifier chains, and their pump and driver subsystems
  • Harmonic generation and wavelength-conversion stages
  • Free-space and fiber-delivered optical systems
  • Spectroscopy, imaging and laser-plus-motion experiments
  • OEM prototypes and custom photonics equipment
  • Instruments with limited factory support, where the system has to be re-engineered around what is still obtainable

Before a project is accepted we review the model and configuration, the wavelength and output range, pulse characteristics, available documentation, parts access, the safety condition of the installation and the metrology the result depends on.

If the laser itself is faulty

This page is about building, moving and automating laser systems. If your problem is that an existing laser has stopped producing usable output, that is fault diagnosis and component-level repair, and it is covered on the scientific laser repair pages. The two engagements are frequently sold together: we recover the source, then re-integrate it into the experiment.

How we engineer it

The method is the same whether the project is a new build, a move or a recovery.

  1. Establish what is actually known. Observed facts separated from assumptions: displayed values, electrical signals, measured optical output, where it was measured, whether the detector suited the wavelength, and what has changed since it last worked.
  2. Define the requirement and the interfaces. Operating modes, block architecture, the equipment and interface matrix, and the electrical, cooling, environmental and network conditions the system needs.
  3. Work from the outside inward. External setup, detector range, attenuation, beam path, shutters, interlocks, cooling and control conditions are settled before anything invasive happens.
  4. Build, integrate and stage. Optomechanics, motion, control panels, harnesses and software assembled and tested as a system before installation rather than discovered on site.
  5. Measure the function, not the power light. The work closes against the acceptance method agreed at the start, not because the unit switches on and reports no fault.
  6. Hand over the documentation. Optical layout, settings, pinouts, interface definitions and test methods delivered with the system.

Measurement capability, defined per project

PhaseX defines and provides the measurement capability the project requires, drawing on owned, rented or qualified third-party measurement resources arranged as required. In-house instrumentation currently includes a RIGOL MHO984 oscilloscope and a Joulescope JS320 for electrical, current, timing and pulse-train work.

The proposal states which measurements will be made, by what method and where each one comes from, together with the acceptance criteria. We do not offer manufacturer-equivalent calibration, and we do not certify a system to original published specifications where the original acceptance data and the corresponding standards are unavailable.

Laser safety

We implement the technical controls a project calls for: enclosure and barrier integration, door interlock and laser enable logic, shutters and key control, emergency stop interfaces, warning indicators and operating-state signals, and fault-state and reset behavior testing. We produce the documentation your safety function needs to review it.

Class 4 work is planned and executed under a project-specific laser safety plan. The required engineering controls, personal protective equipment, beam management and facility conditions are defined in writing before any energized optical work begins, and the infrastructure that plan calls for is provided within the project scope.

Where authority sits

Final hazard analysis and approval remain with the institution or the responsible qualified safety professional unless a different responsibility is expressly contracted. We are not a licensed engineering, architectural or building-trades practice, and we do not act as your laser safety officer. Rigging, crating and building services are coordinated with defined partners under the project scope.

Why this team

Built from machine-level laser work

Our background is industrial laser machinery: manufacturing, installation, commissioning, source diagnostics, high-power fiber delivery work and field service. That is what connects optics to the power, cooling, motion, control and safety systems around them, and it is why we start at the interfaces rather than at the optical table alone.

Independent of a single platform

Research laboratories combine new, legacy and custom equipment from different suppliers. We work from the system architecture and the available technical evidence instead of assuming one manufacturer's ecosystem.

Supported by CoreX engineering

When a laser project extends into custom electronics, power, motion, robotics, data acquisition, experiment software or facility coordination, PhaseX works with CoreX Robotics Services LLC as one project team. PhaseX Laser Services is a registered alternate name of that company, so it is one contract and one point of responsibility.

Documentation before the knowledge leaves

Optical layouts, settings, interface definitions and test methods are captured as project deliverables. A system should not depend on one student, one vendor technician or one aging computer that nobody wants to touch.

For institutional purchasing

How this is bought

Procurement and risk teams need different answers from the laboratory. These are ours.

Entity

Who you contract with

CoreX Robotics Services LLC, a New Jersey limited liability company, trading as PhaseX Laser Services. One legal entity, one address, one set of terms. Vendor onboarding documentation can be coordinated with your procurement team.

Paper

Quotations and purchase orders

A written quotation with a defined scope, a fixed engineering fee for the front-end work and a stated validity period. We accept purchase orders and work to institutional payment terms. Build and installation phases are quoted against an agreed scope rather than an open estimate.

Risk

Scope, liability and coordination

The responsibilities matrix names what sits with PhaseX, what sits with the institution, what sits with equipment vendors and what sits with licensed trades. Rigging, crating and building work is coordinated with defined partners. Safety approval stays with your LSO or EHS function.

Need a scope and a number for a proposal?

We prepare the requirements, block architecture, interface matrix and budgetary bill of materials as a defined front-end engagement.

Questions

What laboratories ask first

Can PhaseX build a complete laser experiment?

We integrate the laser, the optical path, optomechanics, motion, cooling, controls, interlocks and the measurement architecture under a defined scope. The scientific method and the final research interpretation stay with the laboratory.

Can you relocate an optical table?

Yes. The work starts by recording component positions, beam paths, settings, cables, utilities and whatever performance baseline exists. Rigging, crating and building services are coordinated with defined partners under the project scope. Recommissioning is then measured against the post-move criteria agreed in advance.

How do you handle the measurement side?

PhaseX defines and provides the measurement capability the project requires, drawing on owned, rented or qualified third-party measurement resources arranged as required. The acceptance method is agreed in writing before the work starts, so success is defined by a measurement rather than by an opinion.

Can PhaseX purchase lasers and optical components?

We prepare the technical bill of materials, coordinate quotations and structure procurement according to the project contract. Manufacturer warranty, ownership, lead time, substitutions and acceptance responsibility are confirmed before anything is ordered.

Who is responsible for laser safety approval?

The institution is. We implement the technical controls the project calls for, including enclosure and barrier integration, door interlock and laser enable logic, shutters, emergency stop interfaces and warning indicators, and we produce the documentation your safety function needs. Final hazard analysis and approval stay with the institution's LSO or EHS function.

Is PhaseX an authorized manufacturer service center?

No. PhaseX is an independent service provider and systems integrator. Manufacturer and model names are used to identify equipment. Factory authorization exists only where it is expressly confirmed in writing for a specific relationship or project.

What should we send to start a technical review?

The manufacturer and model, the wavelength and output range, pulse characteristics if the system is pulsed, controller and software version, photographs, the optical layout if one exists, recent measurements, and the result the laboratory needs to achieve.

Start here

Start with the optical result the laboratory needs.

New system, missing output, repeatable automation, a move, or recovering an instrument nobody supports any more. We begin by defining the configuration and the measurement that will prove it worked.
