Lasers are used in everything from manufacturing to computers and medicine. For more than three decades, SwRI has provided the research and development that has helped make laser technology so ubiquitous, and we hold a number of patents on optical technology. SwRI’s Center for Applied Optics and Photonics is a multidisciplinary approach to resolving the technical challenges associated with the development and integration of optical and photonic systems for manufacturing, consumer products, metrology and scientific instrumentation. We offer state-of-the-art laboratories for measurements, simulations, optical sensing and spectroscopy, infrared and ultraviolet imaging, and light delivery systems.
