3. Introduction
On the 16th of December 2011, the Perfos association became
« Photonics Bretagne », the new official photonics cluster of the Bretagne
region in France. Perfos is now the R&D platform of the cluster witch still
develops specialty microstructured fibers.
Photonics Bretagne is a high performing cluster of research centers,
schools and companies all in the field of photonics.
The mission of Photonics Bretagne is to bring together expertise and
experience of our members to create value for every involved organization and
partner.

15. IDEOPTICS
Patented Multi-Dot-ScanTM fast stop-and-go scanning technology
Unlike the standard galvo scanhead which is commonly used in laser material processing applications,
our technology enables the laser processing of a matrix pattern of dots or holes, with the following
performances:
 High speed (5 times faster or more than galvo systems)
whatever the size of the scanning area
 High precision and high scanning repeatibility (zero drift)
whatever the scanning speed
 High laser damage threshold, no cooling devices
 Ready-to-use embedded software
Our scanning technology works at all laser wavelengths and is particularly adapted to high
power high frequency laser technologies (ex. picosecond lasers).
