The Company differentiates itself through capabilities and know-how in crystal growth, packaging and integration, and unique intellectual property, supported by a portfolio of more than 170 patents.
With 400+ employees across production facilities in the US, France, and India, and sales offices in China and Japan, Luxium serves a global base of 650+ customers across a diverse set of applications across medical imaging, security and border protection, semiconductor, aerospace and defense, oil and gas, and other industrial markets.
For over 60 years, PLX has been at the forefront of developing high-quality monolithic optics that can withstand and perform under the harshest environmental conditions and maintain their accuracy over time.
In 1970, PLX invented the Hollow Retroreflector which placed PLX at the heart of innovation for the NASA manned and unmanned space exploration missions of the era. In the 1990s, PLX leveraged its space heritage, patented technologies, and proprietary processes to develop targeting systems that satisfied the most exacting defense specifications.
Entering the 21st century, PLX developed Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T), opening up an array of applications such as Boresighting and Interferometry, for the most flight-critical military and space programs.
PLX’s past acquisition of Reflex Imaging and its groundbreaking beam- steering technology adds to PLX’s industry-leading capabilities in the field of monolithic optics. Integrating active-optic devices such as scanning mirrors with advanced techniques, such as our Monolithic Optical Structure Technology™ (M.O.S.T)
Excelitas enabling innovation. Whether you require discrete components, modules, sub-assemblies, or complete turnkey solutions, Excelitas leverages its diverse technology portfolio to customize the perfect solution for your most unique requirements.
