Sensors & Detectors

Develops, calibrates, and markets a complete line of laser and LED measurement products, including laser power/energy meters, beam profilers measuring femtowatt to hundred-kilowatt lasers, high-performance IR and visible optical elements, IR thermal imaging lenses and zoom lenses for defense and commercial applications.

Standard and custom photodetectors and high-quality VIS and IR LEDs. Our advanced performance sensors operate from the extreme ultraviolet (UV) to the mid-infrared (mid-IR). Photodetectors provide high-energy particle, electron, x-ray, and UV detection; plus excellent mid-IR sensitivity to discriminate gases, detect heat, sparks, and flames.

Designs and manufactures IR detectors for the 0.5 to 24 micron range. Products include InGaAs, Ext-InGaAs, InAs, InSb, PC&PV HgCdTe detectors, linear and 2D arrays with a wide range of detector cooling options for defense, security/safety, chemical and biological detection, semiconductor inspection, life science, and spectroscopy markets.

Global leader in precision motion control, nanopositioning stages, and automation subsystems. Technologies include hexapods, air bearings, and piezo drives. More than 50 years of experience and 1600 employees. Manufacturing sites in USA, Europe, Asia. PI's customers are leaders in photonics, life sciences, semiconductors, and aerospace.
