Lightspeed Technologies - Your Source for Scientific Illumination

Extreme Ultraviolet to the Mid Infrared

Generating, aligning, and analyzing light for scientific, commercial, and industrial applications is the purpose of all product lines from Lightspeed Technologies. Our product lines include light sources, precision stages, detectors and sensors combined with powerful software for control and analysis.

The light sources offered range from narrow bandwidth lasers to mid bandwidth LED systems to broadband and fiber coupled systems. Precision alignment is available in the form of flexure stages, piezo stages, and mini stages (some of the smallest available).  Most have options for vacuum and cryogenic applications.    The analysis tools include spectrometers (UV/VIS/NIR), wavefront sensors (EUV/DUV/VIS/NIR), laser beam profilers, optical fiber analyzers, and mid infrared spectroscopy systems.

Please visit the Lightspeed Technologies home page www.light-speed-tech.com for quick links to all the product lines. Brief descriptions below describe some products that might be of interest for applications in your laboratory, instrument, product, or process control.
