LightPath is a recognized leader in optical solutions for industrial, defense, communications, test and measurement, and medical applications. For over 20 years, LightPath has built a strong portfolio of optical components and technologies that serve these industries. These products include molded glass aspheric lenses and assemblies, Black Diamond™ infrared lenses and thermal imaging assemblies, optical isolators, fused fiber collimators, and gradient index GRADIUM® lenses.

LightPath also offers the ability to combine optical elements into a complete assembly, providing full engineering support for both optics and mechanics. LightPath uses an integrated approach; our optical and mechanical engineers work directly with our customers on their optical system requirements. This enables the finished application to obtain the highest level of optical integration, minimizing time, size and cost while ensuring quality, performance and manufacturability. With LightPath’s automation capabilities, when your product is ready for full production we are ready to take you there. LightPath is an ISO 9001-2000 certified supplier.

Our customer base is very diverse with applications that include laser welding & cutting, military laser tag, data communications, laser tools, bar code scanning, particle measurement, medical endoscopes, telecom multiplexers, and many other optical application areas. We pride ourselves on high performance, customer support, quality products, value added designs and cost effective volume manufacturing.

Facilities

LightPath currently operates two facilities, our Corporate Headquarters based in the Research Park at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, Florida and a high volume production facility located in Shanghai, China.
