OEMs rely on Axetris as a competent and sub-system partner for a wide range of high-quality off-the shelf products as well as customer specific solutions from concept to volume production.

Axetris is ISO 9001 certified and ISO TS 16949 compliant and operates its own 6” to 8” wafer MEMS foundry in Central Switzerland for its own products and external customers.

Laser Gas Detectors

Our innovative laser gas detector (LGD) products originate from IR Microsystems, which was acquired by Leister Process Technologies in 2007 and has been fully integrated into Axetris AG.

The gas detectors target process control, emission & environmental monitoring as well as safety and air conditioning applications. Based on state-of-theart telecom-type laser diodes, the LGDs offer exceptional advantages compared to current gas sensor technologies and are offered to OEM customers as self-contained modules for continuous monitoring of gases like NH₃, O₂, CO₂, CH₄, and H₂O. They feature a patented, reference channel-free measurement principle, using Tuneable Diode Laser Spectrometry (TDLS).

Axetris’ LGD presents a clear alternative to current sub-optimal detection solutions, combining unique advantages like high selectivity for the target gas, continuous sensor status monitoring, calibration-free operation, high long-term stability, long lifetime and low cost-of-ownership.
