Lightwave Electronics, a laser technology leader, creates photonic products for materials processing, life sciences and analyses and other optical physics applications. Our core competencies in optical, electrical and mechanical design, as well as our manufacturing excellence, provide the ability to penetrate existing markets and enter into new emerging markets. Lightwave founded the Diode Pumped Laser (DPL) business in 1984 with the world's first commercial system. We now provide the widest range of high performance DPL systems in the industry, with products in the Continuous Wave (CW), Q-Switched and Mode-Locked regimes. Our strategy is to become the market leader in solid-state ultraviolet (UV) lasers and to use this position to expand and diversify our business.
