Innovations can promote sustainable development, but we need to change some of our habits.
iTEOX is evolving its model to promote sustainable R&D and a sustainable business model.
To achieve this, research practices must also change. iTEOX’s expertise and our main added value lie primarily in high-level engineering services, hands-on masterclasses, and specialized know-how. However, client laboratories are often constrained by administrative frameworks or habits that favor buying standalone hardware or undertaking short-term projects with frequent air travel.
Change—at least in Europe—must happen now:
-
Procure expertise, not just hardware: Enable research laboratories to commission high-value services, diagnostics, and custom software integration directly from specialized European SMEs.
-
Maximize existing beamlines: Extend the lifespan and performance of current laser chains through dynamic closed-loop control and expert optimization rather than systematic hardware replacement.
R&D is the ideal place to initiate change and meet the commitments of COP21. Who can claim to innovate without being able to change?
iTEOX credo
Our mission is innovation through open, respectful, and high-impact collaboration.
We strongly believe that true breakthroughs stem from new problems, fresh perspectives, and deep technical partnerships. iTEOX aims to invent, optimize, and co-develop cutting-edge optical and electronic solutions tailored to actual user needs.
Founded by Thomas Oksenhendler, a specialist in Ultrafast Laser Technology, the company builds on a strong technological foundation in interferometry, innovative optical design, photoconductors, electro-optics, acousto-optics (Dazzler/Mazzler systems), optomechanics, non-linear optics, and Petawatt-class lasers.

How We Partner With Laboratories & Facilities
Building on our core credo, iTEOX structures its collaboration into three key service pillars designed to overcome administrative hurdles and deliver immediate technical value:
1. Independent Acceptance & Advisory Services (AMO)
Acting as a vendor-agnostic third-party expert, we support research centers during the procurement, Factory/Site Acceptance Testing (FAT/SAT), and commissioning of multi-million-euro laser systems.
2. Dynamic Closed-Loop Integration
We design custom software, control algorithms, and feed-forward architectures (e.g., Equalaser) to convert static diagnostics into continuous, real-time feedback loops that compensate for thermal and phase drifts shot-to-shot.
3. Custom Metrology Co-Development
We co-develop bespoke spatiotemporal E(x,y,t) diagnostics and high-dynamic temporal contrast benches (>10^10) integrated into European research grants (ANR, Horizon Europe) or turnkey lab delivery.
Let’s Build the Future of Laser Metrology Together
Whether you need a custom diagnostic, an independent audit of a new beamline, or advanced training for your team, we are eager to hear about your challenges.
