NP Photonics
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. Their 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.
Their core strengths are technology innovation, product development, quality engineering and manufacturing world-class products for applications in sensing, defense, metrology and research.
NP Photonics currently have over 1,400 lasers installed worldwide, and NP Photonics continue to grow through technology development, strategic partnerships and engagement with markets in which the company has a clear sustainable advantage.
TECHNOLOGY LIBRARY
Since their inception, NP Photonics has successfully engaged in government-sponsored and customer-funded development programs to leverage core competencies and develop new technologies.
Their engineering team is 20 strong with a deep background in glass, optics and fiber lasers. The team has a wealth of experience developing innovative technologies and bringing products to market.
Ultra-low-noise, single-frequency technology from continuous-wave (CW) to high-energy pulsed lasers, free of non-linear effects
Distortion-free fiber amplifiers – unique high-gain-per-unit-length phosphate fiber enables significant distortion-free amplification of q-switched and ultrafast pulses at 1 micron and 1.5 microns
A mid-IR supercontinuum laser source, <1000 nm to >4500 nm
Ultra-low-loss mid-IR transport fibers, visible-5 microns
Mid-IR high-temperature oxide glasses
Quality(ISO 9001: 2008 Certification)
The ISO 9001:2008 certification is a demonstration of NP Photonics' commitment to meeting globally recognized quality management system requirements and regulations for the manufacture of fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers and fiber components. NP Photonics' products serve a broad range of high‐value industrial applications that require significant levels of product quality and consistency.
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.
