Sandia Lidar Beam Director

This large aperture beam director is currently installed the Sandia Infrared DIAL Project truck mounted Lidar. The beam director provides accurate pointing of the Lidar beam in both azimuth and elevation. The large aperture mirror also collects the returning beam. When not in use the beam directors' primary optic retracts, closing the white weatherproof cover.

Telecommunications

Laser Guidance engineers are skilled in the development of DWDM fiber optic switching and monitoring devices. The device shown provides command able network wavelength allocation and network reconfiguring using a patent pending dispersion corrected diffractive optic design. Laser Guidance can take your DWDM or fiber optic project from concept to production.

Japanese EPA Lidar Beam Director

This beam director is part of the Japanese EPA's pollution monitoring Lidar system. Via a hydraulical lift, this beam director extends through a roof top opening into a position where it can scan the sky around Tokyo. Controlled by a stepper motor, this large aperture system has an approximately 1 meter in diameter collecting mirror for sampling return light from a two inch transmitting system.

Fiber Optic Medical Probe

The principals at Laser Guidance developed this laser diode based fiber optic device which performs spectroscopy on human patients to measure a variety of bodily statistics. The system employs a group of miniature optics and different wavelength lasers together with servo controlled lock-in detection electronics to make these measurements.
