History and facts of laser development

• Second generation of infrared-laser (OCTAX-LaserShot) introduced to the market in 10/1999, CEO Dr. Klaus Rink, Physicist
• First 1.48 µm infrared diode laser (Fertilase) introduced to the market 1996/1997, director research and development Dr. Klaus Rink, Physicist
• Fundamental articles and papers published from 1994 - 2002 (see enclosed lists of original articles and published abstracts) e.g. by the group of EPFL and CHUV, Lausanne, Switzerland (Klaus Rink, Guy Delacrétaz, René Salathé, Marc Germond, Alfred Senn)
• Birth of the first child obtained after treatment with 1.48 µm infrared laser diode laser for assisted hatching: July 1995 at the university hospital in Lausanne
