Research and Development Services

Research and development (R&D) is the creative process of conceptualization, analysis, and validation which takes an idea from infancy through development and ultimately to the prototype stage. Innovations in technology and the resulting products all evolve by means of continuing R&D. As independent scientists and engineers, our expertise is available on a contract basis to assist government and industry in areas of applied physics related to laser development and applications, pulsed power physics, applied photonics, electronics and instrumentation, computational algorithms, and software. Our talent and expertise supplement or augment a client's in-house capabilities in a cost-effective manner. By responding quickly and efficiently to a client's needs, we assist in maintaining a leading-edge, competitive advantage.

A representative sampling of typical projects includes

• Development of unique instrumentation for research laboratories,

• Prototype electronics development, from A/D Spice modeling to brass-board testing,

• Modifications to our standard pulsed-power products for special customer requirements,

• Development of proprietary laser devices for industrial applications,

• Construction of custom hardware/software for computerized data acquisition, and

• Software development for scientific and engineering applications.

Let us recommend a solution for your most demanding requirements. Your inquiries are invited. Publications related to many of these efforts are available in the open literature.
