Marko MARINČEK

Marko Marinček is engaged in developing lasers, which can be incorporated into the highest performance laser devices. The electric field models in resonators he developed make possible the realization of light sources that meet the requirements for specific applications. He has coordinated many commercially successful projects, resulting in particular in the medical field, resulting in products, which successfully compete with world-renowned manufacturers. He has contributed original concepts and ideas, many of which are patent-protected. He has supervised several graduates and doctoral students, some of whom are now successful project managers. At Fotona, he was one of the key players in establishing a continuous improvement system and continues to strive to rationalize the business process.

The LightWalker laser device, developed and manufactured by Fotona, is designed to address a wide range of dental applications. Due to the introduction of advanced technologies, it has been implemented globally, earned numerous awards, and is being used by dentists all over the world.
