Princeton Lightwave ( PLI ) applies its unique expertise in indium phosphide-based optical semiconductor devices, such as high power lasers and avalanche photodetectors, to design and manufacture advanced optical modules and systems for emerging applications.
The Company’s core capabilities enable it to deliver solutions offering higher performance, reduced system costs and easier deployment to its customers in the fields of optical networking, industrial processing, aerospace and defense, and bio-medical
instrumentation. Princeton Lightwave is a young company with a long background in optical semiconductor devices and photonics systems. The technical staff has extensive experience acquired in designing and manufacturing leading edge products at companies like AT&T, EPITAXX, JDS Uniphase, Lucent, and OFS.
PLI has achieved leading edge performance for III-V (InP and GaAs) sources and detectors, including single element lasers and bars, superluminescent diodes, p-i-n and avalanche phptodiode detectors and detector arrays at wavelengths ranging from visible to
short-wave infrared.
PLI’s optical, mechanical, electrical and software expertise enables the design of these core components into complete sub-systems adapted to OEM customers.
PLI’s customers include companies offering optical systems in a variety of applications as diverse as military guidance systems, telecommunications network monitoring, and food processing and inspection. They value the exacting performance of PLI’s laser or detector components and the additional ability that PLI has to design and deliver those components inside complete, integrated OEM modules functioning as the optical engine of their product.
