The people at LightMachinery are veterans of the lasers and optics world. Each individual typically brings more than 20 years of experience in the areas of optical design, high power lasers, optical fabrication, laser systems, metrology, thin film coatings and custom machinery fabrication. We have produced components and equipment for customers throughout the world involved in space science, telecommunications, semiconductor, high power lasers, academic research, nondestructive testing, biophotonics, electronics, pharmaceutical manufacturing and materials processing.
Facilities
LightMachinery Inc. is based on the campus of the National Research Council of Canada in Ottawa. Our main offices and laboratories are located on the 3rd floor of the Industrial Partnership Facility, M-50.
This world class facility provides an excellent infrastructure that allows our team to focus on innovative process development.
Optical Manufacturing
Our clean bright optical manufacturing facility is capable of producing the highest quality optical components available. We take pride in working closely with our customers and pushing the limits of optical manufacturing science. Our developments in computer controlled fluid jet polishing are setting a new standard for optical manufacturing. For more information about LightMachinery's optical manufacturing capabilities do not hesitate to Contact us .
Laser Applications
Our laser applications lab is equipped with high power CO2 and excimer lasers from GSI Lumonics. Our knowledge of laser applications and laser system design enables us to process industrial and scientific samples and determine the best laser parameters and optical set up for any application. The people at LightMachinery have worked on countless laser applications including; printed circuit board drilling, beer bottle marking, pill and tablet drilling, gelcap marking, UV and IR spectroscopy and laser plasma ultrasound.

History
The founders of LightMachinery have worked together for almost their entire careers. One half of the people at LightMachinery started out at Lumonics in Kanata, Ontario designing and manufacturing high power CO2 and excimer laser systems. The other half of our team comes from a company originally known as Interoptics, founded by Jeff Wimperis, one of the founders of LightMachinery. Interoptics was later purchased by Lumonics and renamed WavePrecision. Wave Precision was a renowned optical components manufacturer that was a key supplier to GSI Lumonics and JDS Uniphase as well a key contributor to scientific and aerospace projects.
