IPG was founded in 1990 in Russia by physicist Valentin Gapontsev, a pioneer in the field of fiber lasers and recipient of various awards.[4][5][6][7][8] In the beginning, IPG made customized glass and crystal lasers, wireless temperature meters for hyperthermy and laser components. The foundations of the industrial fiber laser revolution were laid In 1992, when the company began focusing on the development of high-power fiber lasers and amplifiers, and a scheme for side-pumping of dual-clad single-mode fibers had been discovered by Dr. V.P. Gapontsev with coworkers. The side-pumping technique very efficiently converts multimode pump light from multiple laser diodes into one output from a single-mode fiber. Together with the fiber’s large surface-to volume ratio, allowing the simplest and most efficient cooling schemes, and all-solid state architecture, insensitive to dirt and vibration, these developments resulted in the most energy efficient, low-cost, compact, robust and reliable laser. The firm received its first major contract from telecommunications carrier Italtel. IPG then won a second major contract from DaimlerBenz Aerospace (Dornier Branch). The company opened a facility in Germany in 1994 and established World Headquarters in the USA in 1998. In 2000, IPG invested in new high-capacity production facilities to manufacture its own diode pumps, a major component of its fiber lasers and amplifiers. As a result, IPG is able to produce most critical components for its lasers and amplifiers. The company went public at the end of 2006 and is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the ticker IPGP. IPG Photonics - Wikipedia
