Oxxius product offering
Product offeringCore offering
Oxxius designs, manufactures, and sells diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) and diode laser modules including CW and modulated lasers (FlexxRay), single-frequency lasers (StaxxBeam), high-power diode modules (MaxxPower), and multi-wavelength laser combiners (MixxWave, including the acquired 89 North LDI line). Products cover wavelengths from UV to NIR with 100+ configurations and are sold globally for life science imaging, spectroscopy, quantum research, and industrial metrology applications.
Product overview
Oxxius offers a comprehensive portfolio of laser products organized into four main product families: FlexxRay (CW and modulated lasers with adjustable power), StaxxBeam (single frequency lasers with narrow linewidth), MaxxPower (high-power diode modules), and MixxWave (multi-wavelength laser combiners). The company also acquired 89 North, adding Laser Diode Illuminators (LDI) multiline fiber-coupled illuminators to the portfolio. The product architecture is modular, with multiple power levels and wavelength options within each series, plus integration accessories including fiber couplings, electromechanical shutters, optical isolators, and heat management solutions. Individual lasers (LBX, LCX, LPX series) serve as building blocks that can be integrated into wavelength combiners for multi-color applications in life sciences and metrology.

Oxxius competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Edinburgh Instruments: UK manufacturer of scientific lasers including single-frequency DPSS and picosecond diode systems, addressing similar fluorescence, Raman and quantum research applications as Oxxius with comparable wavelength coverage and OEM integration focus.
- Toptica Photonics: German specialist in diode and DPSS lasers for biophotonics, microscopy and quantum technology, with comparable narrow-linewidth single-frequency visible laser offerings and academic/OEM customer base very similar to Oxxius's.
- RPMC Lasers: US-based distributor and integrator of solid-state, diode and fiber lasers for defense, research and industrial markets, often reselling products comparable to Oxxius into OEM and government customer programs similar to Oxxius's life sciences and underwater defense segments.
- Hübner Photonics: Manufactures Cobolt and C-WAVE series DPSS lasers, including single-frequency and multi-line combiners, serving the same life science and metrology OEM customers as Oxxius with analogous wavelength and stability claims.
Emerging players
- 89 North (now Oxxius Inc.): Pre-acquisition, 89 North provided multiline Laser Diode Illuminators (LDIs) for spinning disk confocal, structured illumination and PALM/STORM microscopy, historically a complementary supplier; post-acquisition it now sits inside Oxxius but historically competed in adjacent illumination niches.
Others
- Optoprim: Italian photonics distributor that resells DPSS and continuous-wave lasers including Oxxius products into the Italian research market; included as an adjacent channel partner rather than a direct competitor.
Broad incumbents
- Thorlabs: Vertically integrated photonics supplier offering diode, DPSS and gas lasers alongside optics and instruments; competes with Oxxius in OEM laser modules for microscopy and metrology, although laser sources are a sub-segment of Thorlabs' much broader catalog.
- MKS Instruments (Spectra-Physics): Large incumbent in scientific and industrial lasers through its Spectra-Physics division, offering DPSS, single-frequency and diode lasers across UV to NIR, directly overlapping with Oxxius's FlexxRay, StaxxBeam and MaxxPower product families across life sciences, metrology and quantum research.
- Coherent: Global photonics leader manufacturing diode, DPSS and fiber lasers for life sciences, semiconductor and materials processing. Competes with Oxxius in scientific and OEM embedded laser applications with a much broader portfolio and deeper R&D budget.
- Novanta (Laser Quantum): Novanta's Laser Quantum division produces continuous-wave DPSS lasers (e.g., gem, ti:sapphire) for microscopy and spectroscopy, directly competing with Oxxius's StaxxBeam and FlexxRay product lines through OEM and academic channels.
