We supply the enabling device that becomes the heart of your product — and the engineering around it that turns a component into a working sub-system.
An Indian manufacturer who wants to build a laser marking machine, a thermal imaging camera or a quantum communication system faces the same obstacle: the critical device is imported, poorly supported, and nobody local understands it well enough to help integrate it.
That is the gap we have spent three decades closing. We do not simply resell a component — we supply it with the electronics, firmware, control software and application engineering needed to make it work inside your machine, and we stay involved while you get to production.
Indian manufacturers of diamond planning and marking machines build their systems around a sub-nanosecond microchip pulsed laser. We supply that laser, and the integration engineering around it — drive, control, beam delivery and GUI. In every one of those machines the laser is the heart of the system. This is the largest OEM programme we run, and the clearest proof of what 'creating an OEM' actually means.
Quantum key distribution needs a source whose frequency barely moves. We supply C-band DFB laser modules specified below 100 Hz linewidth, with the Elite grade typically at 20 Hz and the Ultra-Narrow grade typically at 50 Hz, at 1550 nm. Indian quantum-communication programmes are built on these sources, and we support them here — specification, integration and service.
The other half of a QKD link is the detector. We supply single-photon counting modules with a dark count rate below 400, together with the coincidence counters and time-to-digital converters that turn detection events into a usable measurement. Source, detector, timing and integration from one Indian partner.
LWIR microbolometer and SWIR sensors supplied to Indian OEMs building thermal cameras and vision systems for defence, industrial and agricultural markets. We created several of these OEMs; a number are now established manufacturers in their own right.
These are held in-house. Nothing critical is subcontracted, which is why we can commit to a design review date and meet it.
Mechanical, electronic, control and software engineered as one system rather than four handovers.
Touch and PC interfaces for intuitive, operator-safe machine control.
Real-time embedded firmware on microcontroller and FPGA platforms, designed in-house.
Beam delivery, focusing, Q-switch timing and full laser control from the GUI — DPSS, fibre, microchip, diode, narrow-linewidth, ultrafast and CO₂.
Visible and thermal camera integration with live imaging, calibration and analysis.
Pneumatic actuation, valve sequencing and interlocked safety circuits.
Closed-loop servo and stepper drives with homing and position feedback.
Coordinated multi-axis motion, galvo scanning and process synchronisation.
Vision-guided alignment, fiducial recognition, inspection and process verification.
Windows application software, PLC and SCADA integration, logging and export.

DPSS, fibre, narrow-linewidth, ultrafast and CO₂ sources integrated with drive electronics, safety interlocks and GUI control.
Multi-axis precision gantries, galvanometer scanners, focus assemblies and the optical train between source and workpiece.
Custom software, PLC and SCADA integration, machine vision for alignment and inspection, and data logging for the quality record.
Talk to us before you finalise the design. The integration problems are much cheaper to solve now than after your first prototype.
