Power Technology, Inc

We at Power Technology, Inc. have been a driving force in the laser industry for over forty years. Since 1969, we have been designing, developing, and manufacturing a comprehensive range of laser products for scientific, biomedical, industrial, semiconductor inspection, machine vision, defense and security applications. In fact, our modules are ideal for any number of OEM and research-based applications, including microscopy, display, spectroscopy, holography, laser-induced fluorescence, flow cytometry, and high-resolution printing.

We offer a variety of laser diode modules with wavelengths from 263 to 13,900nm and output powers from 0.1mW to several Watts. Beam circularization is available for many of our modules, as is active temperature control and pulsed or modulated output. And several of our laser diode modules feature an alternate separated geometry configuration for more flexible integration into your application.

In addition to being a forerunner in semiconductor laser technology, we have been a world leader in HeNe power supply production since our inception. We manufacture a variety of AC and DC input power supplies for Helium Neon lasers, from basic units to more advanced ones capable of driving some of the most powerful HeNe tubes on the market. We also offer a variety of diode-pumped solid state lasers, as well as infrared viewing devices, fusion fiber splicers, and our popular dual beam combiner.

For users seeking a specialized module outside of our standard product line, we perform a number of custom-design and manufacturing services. We house a full-service machine shop, complete with milling and turning equipment capable of handling large-scale production jobs, as well as R&D projects and prototype creation. In addition, we can harness our in-house pick-and-place capabilities to construct a variety of detailed boards at rapid speed achieving both high and low volume production.
