Medical

Surgical Lasers, Microsurgery, Ophthalmology, and Endoscopy

Your system must improve visualization and miniaturization. So much of our work in these specialized optics, assemblies, and optical coatings does just that. 

We are ISO certified, and our ability to adjust our manufacturing schedule makes it possible to meet the requirements of even the most demanding customer MRP programs.

Defense

DRI, Threat Detection, Laser Target Designators, Sighting Systems

Optical systems must perform flawlessly in the harshest environments. There's no room for error when arming our defense teams with enhanced situational awareness, DRI (detection, recognition, identification), accurate targeting, and enhanced communication systems. 

With 1/3 of our business focused on optics for the defense industry, we're accustomed to meeting precise tolerances and complying with the strictest documentation and testing requirements. 

We are registered with the DDTC and are compliant with all ITAR regulations. If necessary, we can apply for and provide a DSP-5 license for foreign contractors from U.S. government-approved friendly nations.
