Meadowlark Optics Acquires Boulder Nonlinear Systems

Meadowlark Optics has announced its acquisition of Boulder Nonlinear Systems (BNS). Both companies are based in Colorado and produce optical components used in numerous scientific research fields and industries. Meadowlark previously purchased the commercial Spatial Light Modulator business from BNS in 2014. Meadowlark is a manufacturer of polarization solution components, including liquid crystal shutters, rotators, and spatial light modulators for wavelengths ranging from the UV to the MWIR. The company will be gaining additional products to expand upon the spatial light modulators and liquid crystal polarization products, which will now include switchable gratings.
