Welcome to the LZH

On June 20, 1986 the Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) was founded under the patronage of the German State Ministry of Trade, Industry, Technology, and Transportation in Lower Saxony. Our main task is to support applied research in laser technology on a non-profit basis. The LZH is involved in:

  • R&D projects in the field of laser development and laser applications
  • Technical and scientific consulting to link research and practice
  • Industry-oriented training of experts for applying and operating laser systems

Through the close cooperation between production engineers, material scientists, and physicists we find interdisciplinary solutions for all fields of laser applications.
