Crytur – One of the Czech
Material Manufacturers
Proprietary materials - single crystals - are processed to
high value products by precision grinding and polishing,
deposition of dielectric layers and clean room assembly.
Major directions:
scintillation materials and detectors,
detection units for electron microscopy,
laser rods and other laser components,
crystal based precision optics including dielectric layers,
and
sapphire profiles.

Company Profile
55 employees
Turnover 2,5 mil. EUR/year
Average turnover growth 15% yearly in the last 10
years
Production 20% in CZK, 55% in EUR, 25% in USD
Niche applications requiring strong research.
Research expenses ca 25% of the turnover.
Value added about 70%.
4
Materials Grown
Garnets YAG and LuAG, perovskites YAP, silicates LSO
and YSO
Dopants:
Ce, Nd, Tm, V, Yb, Pr, Er, Cr
5
Detection Units for
Electron Microscopy
Single crystals for BSE detection in electron
microscopy – Crytur has a majority of the word
market
Portfolio expansion from crystals to complete
detection systems
New clean-room facilities

Lasers
Laser rods primarily for medical and defence
industries
Specialty materials – YAP, YAG, LuAG with Nd,
Tm, V, Yb, Pr, Er, Cr, BaWO4, etc.
Bonding, angles
10
Coating
High reflectivity mirrors, anti-reflection coatings,
partial reflectivity mirrors, dichroic mirrors, beam
splitters, graded reflectivity laser mirrors, optical
filters, coated infrared optics, etc.
11
Research in Crytur
Large extent of research (25% of turnover),
due to short product life-time (ca 5 years).
Czech Republic reasearch environment:
1) Research expenses are double tax-deductible, or
2) Governmental research subsidy (program TIP)
Low participation of the Czech companies in the EU
programs, even compared to the „new“ EU countries.
12
Research Collaboration
Crytur has a long contractual collaboration with ca 10
university groups.
Collaboration example:
„Nanoscintillation Materials“ – collaboration of 5
university groups for 4 years. Crytur is just end user,
total budget 1,8 mil. EUR.
Idea behind project: When scintillator particles are
smaller than 1/10 of the emitted wavelength, standard
optics laws do not apply.
13
Investment Activity
Crytur sales (in EUR) increased six-folds in the last 10
years – large investments necessary.
Investments corresponding to 20% of the turnover in
2006-2010 – EU subsidy on investments ca 50%.
Investment subsidy available through CzechInvest up
to 2013.
Condition: Production of newly developed product –
available even for foreign companies
14
Summary
Extent of
material research corresponds to a strong
industry share on the Czech GDP. It is supported with
governmental and EU incentives.
Crytur
has a strong position in single crystal
manufacturing, in particular in imaging with ionising
particles.
