What FYLA does

FYLA LASER S.L. is a Spanish deep-tech company headquartered in Paterna, Valencia, founded in 2014 as a spinoff from the University of Valencia. The company designs, develops, and manufactures ultrafast fiber laser systems, specifically supercontinuum fiber lasers (Iceblink, Horizon) that generate ultra-short light pulses in the picosecond and femtosecond range across 450-2300 nm, and femtosecond fiber lasers (Cyclone, Pulsar, Zephyr) for multiphoton microscopy and particle detector testing. Its proprietary technology includes the patented Horizon ultra-flat supercontinuum spectrum that eliminates the characteristic 1060 nm peak found in competing lasers, and integrated photonic platforms for free-space optical communications developed under the ENLACE consortium.

FYLA sells its products through a quote-based, consultative enterprise sales motion with direct customer engagement. Customers include scientific research institutions (CERN, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, MIT, ICFO, York, Sussex, NTNU), industrial manufacturers in coil coating quality control, and defense integrators (Indra Group) under the FCAS Future Combat Air System program. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales of laser systems and accessories (Boreal tunable filters), with pricing not publicly disclosed and customers requesting quotes via website contact forms. The company has raised approximately $9.7M USD across multiple funding rounds since 2014 from investors including Bullnet Capital (since 2018), CDTI Innvierte, Jeanologia, and most recently Indra Group, which acquired a 24.8% stake through its Indraventures fund in December 2025.

The company is positioned in the ScaleUp 2022 strategy phase, with product launches across 2024-2025 (Iceblink V3, Boreal V4, Horizon V2) and active participation in European R&D programs (PERTE-Chip, FCAS, ENLACE, IMIDTA). It holds ISO 9001 certification, was a finalist in the 2022 SPIE/Photonics Media Prism Awards for Photonics Innovation, and publishes peer-reviewed research in journals such as Applied Optics. The business model spans three primary verticals: scientific research and academia, industrial/manufacturing, and defense and aerospace, with a secondary focus on telecommunications and space-based optical communications.
