3Wave Instruments AG

Next-generation materials analysis, in real time. 3Wave Instruments is an ETH Zurich spin-off delivering laser-optical second harmonic generation (SHG) to probe functional thin-film properties during growth—fast, contactless, and non-destructive. Our in-situ SHG platform turns symmetry-sensitive signals into instant insight so researchers can precisely optimize epitaxial films and multilayer heterostructures.

Key features * Real-time, non-destructive monitoring of bulk, surface, and interface properties * Direct probing of thickness, temperature, gas pressure and other growth parameters * User-friendly software for seamless operation and data analysis

Benefits * Unmatched insight into symmetry-dependent physical properties of matter * Optimized process control for improved quality, reliability, and efficiency * Faster research cycles, accelerated optimization, and reduced costs
