ATL Lasertechnik GmbH was established in 1993 and made a breakthrough in UV laser technology in 1994 by developing the world's first compact, high repetition-rate, short-pulse excimer laser. ATL has refined this revolutionary concept through several product generations and, today, the ATLEX product range leads the world with its patented preionization and discharge technique. ATL continues to develop compact short-pulse excimer lasers, and remains the technology leader in this area.
