Founded in 1998, NP Photonics develops and manufactures specialty fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and transport fibers for the near- and mid-infrared (IR) wavelength bands. Our proprietary fiber technology is used across a broad family of products, including narrow linewidth, low phase-noise fiber lasers designed for operation in industrial environments.
Our core strengths are technology innovation, product development, quality engineering and manufacturing world-class products for applications in sensing, defense, metrology and research.
We currently have over 1,400 lasers installed worldwide, and we continue to grow through technology development, strategic partnerships and engagement with markets in which the company has a clear sustainable advantage.
About Us
COMPETENCIES
NP Photonics’ capabilities run the gamut from innovation in glass chemistry and development of rigorous processes for drawing fiber to the production of high-quality fiber laser systems.
Our environmentally controlled facility, critical to the glass production process, houses unique and customized equipment designed for producing specialty materials and products. This vertical integration allows us to develop and deliver world-class fiber products to exceed customers’ optical and mechanical requirements.
We currently have 32 patents and more in process. These patents relate to glass composition, glass processing, fiber manufacturing, splicing, fiber lasers, fiber components and fiber amplifiers, all at multiple wavelengths across the near- and mid-IR.
