Laser Thermal

Laser Thermal is a precision instrumentation company born from academic research and driven by the mission to innovate thermal property measurements for researchers, engineers, and product developers. Our suite of thermal analysis tools NTM, TOPS, and FASTR addresses longstanding gaps in the market: accurate, high-throughput, and user-friendly measurements of thermal conductivity, thermal resistance, and volumetric heat capacity. These capabilities span an unprecedented range of material properties and length scales, from nanoscale thin films to bulk composites. Laser Thermal was founded on decades of research and innovation originating in the ExSiTE Lab at the University of Virginia, grounded in a strong foundation of scientific excellence and engineering precision. Our team, led by experts in thermophysics, brings over a century of combined R&D experience, with focused expertise in microelectronics, optoelectronics, and thermal metrology. With over ten issued or pending patents, our work has drawn recognition from DARPA, the U.S. Air Force, and the Department of Defense. From our facility in Charlottesville, Virginia, we carry out all research, development, and manufacturing, ensuring full control over quality and innovation. Today, Laser Thermal is trusted by leading organizations pushing the boundaries of material performance, where precise thermal insight is critical to success. Laser Thermal empowers innovators across semiconductors, power electronics, and thermal management industries with accurate, efficient, and scalable thermal metrology. With NTM, TOPS, and FASTR, we’ve eliminated the technical and operational barriers of legacy techniques, providing precise measurements over a wide range of length scales in the lab and production settings.
