Conoptics was founded in 1981 by former product managers of the Coherent Modulator Division and is a global leading manufacturer of laser accessories. Our products are utilized at research laboratories, disc manufactures, national laboratories, universities and laser manufactures.
Conoptics Milestones:
| • Designed the first DC to 100MHz air-cooled modulation system |
| • Developed e-o modulators for color-separation systems used in laser scanners |
| • Developed modulation systems for video-disc mastering systems which included |
| noise-eaters for removing laser noise and exposure control. These systems also |
| included high speed modulation for video content and multi-function deflector for |
| code tracking |
| • Developed modulators for use in deep UV (257nm) |
| • Developed modulators and high speed drivers for use in pulse selection systems |
| and regen switches |
| • Developed optical isolators for use over the Visible and near IR |
| • Worked jointly with Cornell University (Webb Group) to develop low dispersion |
| modulator for use in Multi-Photon Microscopy (MPM) |
| • Designed miniature optical isolators for use in 3-D measuring systems |
| • Developed high speed, high extinction ratio modulation system for the |
| semi-conductor industry |
Our product line continues to expand, where we have currently developed leading edge electro-optic modulators, beam deflection systems, drive electronics and optical isolators. Typical applications include:
| • Laser Noise Eaters and Exposure Control |
| • Pulse Selection Systems for Mode Locked Lasers |
| • Optical Tweezers |
| • Phase shifters |
| • Disc Mastering |
| • Optical Isolators |
Our product line covers the optical bandwidth from 250nm out to 2000nm and modulation bandwidth out to 500MHz.
