Understand the Product Categorization Scheme

Our product categorization scheme works as follows:

• First of all, we don't register individual product models, but rather product categories. For example, a supplier can register for laser diodes and describe available diodes there, rather than making an entry for each individual laser model.
• There is simply a long alphabetic list of all product categories for which suppliers can be registered ' no complicated hierarchical system of categories.
• There are also shorter lists of those product categories belonging to certain top-level categories. They are available with the buttons which you find above. Some product categories appear in more than one top-level category.

• For each of the 760 product categories, there is a page with suppliers offering goods in that category, containing links to their profile pages and their websites. For most product categories, there is also a related Encyclopedia article. For example, see the supplier list for ultrafast lasers and the related Encyclopedia article. Before buying expensive items, learn about the technology!
• On each company profile page, there is a list of all product categories registered for that company. For each product, there is a link to the corresponding suppliers page and (if available) the Encyclopedia article. Suppliers can register only product categories which they also cover on their own website.

• Product descriptions and images (always applying to a category of products) can be displayed by suppliers having our Advertising Package. They appear on the supplier's company profile, on the lists of suppliers for those products, and also in related Encyclopedia articles (for example, see the one on ultrafast lasers, section 'Suppliers' at the end). Users of the Buyer's Guide benefit from the chance to easily find out which suppliers appear to have products which are suitable for them ' before searching through websites of suppliers.

Use Ticker

This is a live display of the use of encyclopedia articles and various other pages on our website. (We filter out robots as far as possible.) Also, it is indicated if someone is sent from our website to a web page of a supplier (which happens far more often for those using our advertising package). Each line starts with the time according to our time zone (CET). Further details on individual users are not collected.

You see, our website is used quite a lot, as our website statistics also confirms. This is why we can offer great opportunities for your marketing of photonics products.

Open Systems

Ideal for quicker operation and work stop flexibility. The open systems greatest advantage is allowing the operator to mark larger parts that would normally not fit in an enclosure. Laser Safe glasses are required for protection.

Enclosed Systems

Showroom ready, an enclosed system provides safe viewing of the laser operating. The enclosure also contains most of the debris and smells that are generated from the marking process.
