Armadillo SIA
Armadillo SIA offers a comprehensive line of optical fibers, cables, bifurcated assemblies, patch cords, bundles, and more — all custom designed to your specifications. Assemblies can be made from any of our high-quality fibers and your choice of sheathing, cabling, and jacketing. In addition, we offer all standard connectors or custom-designed ferrules to suit applications from deep UV to MIR.

Siskiyou Corp.
Our stainless steel IXF flexure mounts are 30% more thermally stable than their predecessors. Optic size variations from 0.5 to 4.0 in., beamsplitter and top-adjust options. We don’t make lasers ... we make them better!

Spectrum Scientific Inc. (SSI)
Spectrum Scientific’s optical replication process offers high specification aspheric mirrors at a lower cost than traditional volume manufacturing as well as allowing the incorporation of mounting or alignment features onto the mirror itself, improving stability and reducing assembly and alignment costs. It also allows different material choices and optical surface designs including OAPs and freeform mirrors.

Meadowlark Optics Inc.
These transmissive gratings efficiently (>99.5%) diffract circularly polarized light to the first positive or negative order, based on the handedness of the incident light. By incorporating fast electro-optic half-wave polarization retarders to control the handedness of polarization, we can develop custom LCPG devices and systems with a range of leading capabilities for Coherent Doppler Lidar, High-Definition Time-of-Flight Imaging, Non-mechanical Refocusing in Microscopy, and more.

Mad City Labs Inc.
The MadAFM™ is a new multimodal sample scanning AFM. Simple to install with compact tabletop design. Includes Mad City Labs picometer precision nanopositioning systems to give outstanding performance. User-friendly AFMView^® software features automated calibration and initialization. MadAFM™ is compatible with MountainsSPIP^® and Gwyddion analysis software.

Pico Electronics Inc.
Optimize your designs with custom and stock DC-DC converters from Pico Electronics. With outputs up to 10,000 VDC and 1 to 300 W, Pico’s converters are programmable regulated, proportional isolated, and ruggedized encapsulated for harsh environments. Optional military upgrades are available.

AFL
AFL’s LAZERMaster^® LZM-125 Series is a splicing and glass processing system that features a CO₂ laser heat source designed for splicing, tapering, lensing, ablation and other glass shaping operations of fibers ranging from 80 μm up to 2.0 mm in diameter.

Photonics Media
This full-color, 30 × 20.5-inch poster of the photonics spectrum displays the major commercial laser lines, detectors and optical materials in the ultraviolet to the far-infrared and beyond. The convenient format makes it easy to quickly find the information you need.
