Abstract
AbstractStarting from fundamental research just after the discovery of the laser, the Lithuanian laser industry is celebrating forty years since the first commercial company, Eksma, was established in 1983 to produce picosecond lasers. The sector has grown into a fully self‐sustaining ecosystem, providing optics, ultrashort‐pulse lasers, laser technology and systems to the global market. Today, lasers and optics are one of Lithuania's strongest and highest value‐added industrial sectors.
