April 27 (Reuters) - French laser maker Lumibird LBIRD.PA on Wednesday posted a 0.7% rise in its first quarter revenue to 49.7 million euros ($58.3 million) boosted by surging defence and space demand, though a weak medical performance tempered the result.

The group's defence and space business quarterly revenue jumped 21.6%, while its medical division fell 9.2%, hit by logistics disruptions and Middle East delivery delays.
