RP Photonics Buyer's Guide
The RP Photonics Buyer's Guide helps you identify all relevant suppliers for a wide range of photonics products. (On another page, learn more about this buyer's guide.) You can search by product keyword (see below) or by supplier name, and comprehensive scientific and technical background information in the form of encyclopedia articles is just a click away.
Here, you find all 755 types of products which have been registered for this buyer's guide. The categories:
Our product categorization scheme works as follows:
- There is simply a long alphabetic list of all products for which suppliers can be registered – no hierarchical system of categories.
- There are also shorter lists of those products belonging to certain categories. They are available with the buttons which you find above. Some products appear in more than one category.
- For each of the 755 products, there is a page with suppliers for that product, containing links to their profile pages and their websites. For most products, there is also a related encyclopedia article. For example, see the supplier list for ultrafast lasers and the related encyclopedia article. Before buying expensive items, learn about the technology!
- On each company profile page, there is a list of all products registered for that company. For each product, there is a link to the corresponding suppliers page and (if available) the encyclopedia article. Suppliers can register only products which they also mention on their own website.
- Product descriptions and images can be displayed by suppliers having our ad package. They appear on the supplier's company profile, on the lists of suppliers for those products, and also in related encyclopedia articles (for example, see the one on ultrafast lasers, section “Suppliers” at the end). Users of the buyer's guide benefit from the chance to easily find out which suppliers appear to have products which are suitable for them – before searching through websites of suppliers.

Advertise Your Products – More Effectively Than Elsewhere!
Register: Make sure that your company and all its relevant products are registered here. Those who are not yet registered are asked to fill out a registration form. You can have a free entry, but we warmly recommend using our advertising package, which gives you many times stronger benefits.
Edit: On your profile page (upper right part), find Edit profile data: here, you can e.g. add further products.
Why it is so effective: Advertising here is effective mainly through the publication of product descriptions. Users searching suppliers for a product often obtain a very long list of suppliers, from which they need to select a few. They do that based on product descriptions published there, which help them to quickly find out which suppliers may be suitable. These are then inspected more closely by visiting their websites. The product descriptions also appear on the supplier profile pages and even in encyclopedia articles related to the products.
The advertising package also has other nice features, e.g. to announce company news and exhibitions events, showcase a white paper or video, and have a much improved company profile page.
