An Overview of Products & Services from Pro-Lite

Pro-Lite serves the photonics and optics industries with advanced products and services which include: optical detectors; lasers; electro-optic and acousto optic devices; laser safety products; laser test and measurement equipment; instrumentation for measuring light and the optical properties of materials; optics and optical materials; and opto-mechanics and equipment for motion control. We supply software utilities which help laser users choose the appropriate eyewear, optical designers model more accurately and laser designers save time and money. Our services include recalibrations and repairs, contract measurements and custom reflector coating and fabrication. We also deliver training courses.

Detectors Pro-Lite supplies Germanium (Ge) and Indium Gallium Arsenide (InGaAs) photodiodes and APDs for the near-infrared band (0.8 to 2.2µm) and cooled Indium Antimonide (InSb) and Mercury Cadmium Telluride MCT (HgCdTe) detectors for tjhe mid-infrared band (1 to 25µm). » Learn More

Lasers Pro-Lite supplies low power visible diode lasers, infrared diode lasers, diode pumped solid state lasers (DPSS), high power lamp pumped solid state lasers, femtosecond ultrafast lasers and widely tunable solid state lasers - optical parametric oscillators (OPO). Last - but by no means least - we also supply helium neon (HeNe) lasers in green, yellow, orange, red, tunable visible and infrared versions. » Learn More

Laser Modulation and Control Pro-Lite supplies acousto optic modulators, deflectors, Q-switches and acousto-optic tunable filters (AOTF). Associated RF drivers are also available. Pro-Lite also supplies electro-optic Pockels Cells that are used for Q-switching of laser cavities, coupling light into - or out of - an ultrafast regenerative amplifier, and for light intensity modulation. » Learn More

Laser Test and Measurement Pro-Lite supplies instrumentation for the precise characterisation of laser beam parameters. Products include integrating sphere radiometers for divergent lasers, laser power and energy meters with interchangeable thermal, pyroelectric and photodiode sensors, laser beam profilers, laser spectrum analysers and laser wavelength meters. » Learn More

Measurement of Light Instrumentation for measuring light and light sources, including lamps, LEDs, luminaires and displays. Products include goniophotometers, integrating spheres, photometers and colorimeters, imaging photometers, spectrometers, spectroradiometers, optical calibration standards and uniform light sources. » Learn More

Measurement with Light Measuring optical properties yield important information about the composition or behavour of a material. Pro-Lite provides optical instrumentation that is used to measure: surface roughness, BRDF & scatter; reflectance, transmittance & absorbance; and sunscreen ultraviolet transmittance, sun protection factor (SPF) & UVA ratio. » Learn More

Optics and Optical Materials Pro-Lite supplies custom glass, crystal and metal optics and offers custom thin film coatings and optical and opto-mechanic sub-assemblies. Our diffuse reflectance materials realise the ideal of near-perfect Lambertian refectance in the 250-2500nm band, from the affordable 6080 white reflectance coating to the space grade Spectralon that was chosen as an in-flight diffuser material by NASA. » Learn More

Opto-Mechanics and Motion Control Pro-Lite supplies a complete range of custom and standard opto-mechnics that includes beam handling rail systems, manual positioning equipment, motorised positioning equipment, nano-positioning systems, opto-mechanical components and advanced carbon fibre breadboards. » Learn More
