About LightPath Technologies Inc.

LightPath Technologies, Inc. manufactures optical components and assemblies, including precision molded glass aspheric optics, precision molded infrared molded optics, isolators, proprietary fiber-optic collimators, GRADIUM glass lenses, and other optical materials used to produce products that manipulate light.

The company designs, develops, manufactures, and distributes optical components and assemblies utilizing advanced optical manufacturing processes. Its products are incorporated into various applications by its customers in various industries, including defense products, medical devices, laser aided industrial tools, automotive safety applications, barcode scanners, optical data storage, hybrid fiber coax datacom, telecom, machine vision, and sensors.

Molded Aspheres

The company has rights under a royalty-free perpetual license to the precision molded optics process. Products manufactured using this technology include glass aspheric lenses, sub-millimeter lenses and lens arrays. These products include wafer-scale molded glass aspheric lenses, anamorphic lenses and hybrid optical components like diffractives and its Infrared molded optics.

The company’s molded glass aspheres are used in various laser and imaging applications in optical data storage, high precision printing, barcode scanning, environmental monitoring, machine vision, sensors, laser-to-fiber coupling, and medical equipment. The company sells aspheric lenses for various communications applications.

The company offers various lens designs utilizing its proprietary lead free glass ECO550 and other glasses, used for precision molded aspheric lenses. It is developing its molded infrared aspheric optics product line with new short (SWIR), mid (MWIR) and long (LWIR) materials; this product line is called the Black Diamond precision molded glass aspheric optics.

The company offers its precision molded infrared aspheric optics products for imaging applications in firefighting, predictive maintenance, homeland security, surveillance, automotive, and defense. In addition, the company has targeted niche markets, such as infrared laser systems that are used in gas sensing and environmental monitoring.

Isolators

The company manufactures a family of laminate and custom isolators, and sells isolator assemblies for applications in communication markets.

Collimators

The company is specifically targeting and selling high power collimators in various markets, such as fiber laser systems, Nd:YAG laser cutting and welding systems, and communications systems. The process to manufacture these collimators uses patented laser fusion technologies and robotics. These products may incorporate aspheric molded optics and GRADIUM lenses.

GRADIUM Lenses

The company has developed GRADIUM glass as an optical quality glass material with axially varying refractive index, capable of reducing optical aberrations inherent in conventional lenses and performing with a single lens tasks performed by multi-element, conventional lens systems. Typical applications include surgical lasers, high power YAG lasers for welding, cutting and marking, defense-market uses, and test and measurement. GRADIUM handles approximately 10 kilowatts of power and services a niche market for high power YAG laser for laser cutting and laser welding. The smaller focused spot that GRADIUM lenses produce is utilized in the automotive industry to make sharper laser cuts for automotive body panels and hydro formed rails. The smaller spot size produced by GRADIUM lenses is also utilized in various medical, industrial, and instrumentation applications.

Optical Assemblies

The company produces optical assemblies based on its proprietary technologies. It designs, builds, and sells optical assemblies into markets for test and measurement, medical devices, military, industrial, and communications. The OASIS product line consists of an optical isolator that is aligned and mounted to a molded aspheric lens.

Sales and Marketing

The company’s product markets range from consumer (cameras and copiers) to industrial (lasers, data storage, and infrared imaging), from products where the lenses are the central feature (telescopes, microscopes, and lens systems) to products incorporating lens components (robotics and semiconductor production equipment) and communications (various optics are required for bandwidth expansion and improved data transfer for the optical network). The company has divided its sales staff into the following territories: eastern United States and eastern Canada; western United States and western Canada; China/Asia; and Europe/ROW.
