PLX advanced, innovative optical technology: making news since 1955. Now, PLX’s Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T.) is delivering extraordinary optical performance for some of the world’s leading defense, space, and manufacturing companies. In 1955, our retroreflectors went into space with the NASA Manned Space Mission, the start of a journey of system integration and new product development, all designed to perform and exceed expectations in the harshest operating environments. https://lnkd.in/dVx7Sbg Our Boresighting systems operate in the Apache Helicopters and Abrams tanks. Our laser technology has now advanced to a new dimension, with our Active Optics technology taking beam steering to a new level of accuracy, efficiency, and performance. https://lnkd.in/dZwjjRQV Our new O-LAMM technology, designed for manufacturing applications, significantly reduces waste, downtime, and set-up costs, making it a cost-effective solution. PLX's T-LRF system is designed for tracking fast-moving targets at long and short ranges with multiple points at a rate of up to 1000 Hz in a smaller, lighter, low-power unit.

PLX Inc.’s Active Optics Technology takes Beam Steering to a new level of performance. https://lnkd.in/dZwjjRQV Active Optics is an optic that responds to electrical stimuli that change the properties of light.  It can steer a beam, change the wavefront of a beam, distort it or modulate it.  Our Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T.) enables Active Optics Technology to deliver exceptional accuracy and stability. Perfect for an industrial metrology system or a long-range laser tracking system. This technology is the foundation for O-LAMM, our new industrial application product, which can be used in robotic systems, medical devices, and more. Our T-LRF system is a tracking laser range finder that can range multiple points within the electrical-optic platforms field of view, as well as track objects.  For more information on our high-performance optical technology, products and systems, email us at sales@plxinc.com or visit www.plxinc.com.

PLX’s new LTHRXP significantly reduces downtime in dynamic thermal environments, maintaining sub-arcsecond accuracy under rapid thermal transitions. https://lnkd.in/eNRusJaS PLX now offers a cutting-edge variant of the LTHRXP made from Zerodur, a unique material renowned for its extremely low thermal expansion properties. This advanced LTHRXP is engineered to maintain sub-arcsecond accuracy even under extreme thermal transitions from -40°C to +90°C.  The new LTHRXP (Lateral Transfer Hollow Retroreflector Exceptional Performance) retroreflector is designed for critical applications like Boresighting, cameras telescopes and lasers.

Our patented technologies help develop the Modern Boresighting Module used in the Abrams Tanks and Apache Helicopters. PLX’s innovative Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T). achieves superb optical stability, vibration resistance, and sub-arcsecond accuracy, contributing state-of-the-art applications for Military, Aerospace, Commercial, and Laboratory use. For instance, M.O.S.T., combined with our MEMS technology, offers ultra-high performance tracking solutions. https://lnkd.in/dVx7Sbg Integrating Inrad Optics' special processes, thin-film coating expertise using advanced methods such as plasma assist e-beam deposition, and diamond turning capabilities boost performance at extreme temperatures. Additionally, *Luxium Solutions' high-performance single-crystal scintillation materials and sapphire and garnet substrates for photonics and power electronics significantly enhance PLX's ability to develop cutting-edge optical technologies. For more information on our high-performance optical technology, products and systems, email us at sales@plxinc.com or visit www.plxinc.com. *Luxium Solutions has more than 450 employees and offices in the US, France, and India, with sales offices in Japan and China. #monolithcoptic #MEMS #NASA #boresighting #coating

Luxium Solutions' sapphire windows are available in PLX’s LTHRAW and Boresighting systems when extra protection is required for extreme environmental conditions. PLX's All-Weather Lateral Transfer Hollow Retroreflectors™ (LTHRAW) provides ruggedized, vacuum-compatible, hermetically sealed all-weather enclosures for applications that require environmental protection for optical surfaces. These enclosures enable them to perform under the harshest environmental conditions without impairing the optics.  https://lnkd.in/esFrSmUT Luxium Solutions’ sapphire windows  are hard, second only to diamonds, and almost impossible to scratch. They offer extreme physical, chemical and thermal durability, withstanding temperatures up to 2000°C. Sapphire’s stable crystal structure means it won’t react with its surroundings. As a result, it can survive harsh chemical environments without damage. These windows can be used in a multitude of PLX optical solutions for enhanced performance.  https://lnkd.in/eJrepc7d For more information on our high-performance optical technology, products and systems, email us at sales@plxinc.com or visit www.plxinc.com.
