WHO WE ARE

Founded in Novemeber,1999 by Drs. Yaakov Shevy and Amnon Yariv, Orbits Lightwave, Inc. (OLI) is a privately held, innovative supplier of ultra-stable, low noise fiber lasers located in Pasadena, CA. OLI has a rich portfolio of intellectual property that includes technology licensed from nearby California Institute of Technology as well as a number of its own patents issued and pending. OLI’s flagship product line is the Ethernal family of fiber lasers. Ethernal lasers operate in the eye-safe telecommunications C-band wavelength range (1530-1565nm) and are soon available between 1030-1060nm. Based on a novel and patented “virtual ring” laser architecture, Ethernal fiber lasers offer state of the art S/N and side-mode suppression, shot-noise limited RIN, narrow (<1kHz) line-width, with excellent frequency stability. This rich combination of product technology and intellectual property provides a powerful platform for engineers and system developers working on next generation applications. Examples of applications that are enabled by the combination of high stability, low noise and narrow linewidth found in Ethernal lasers include sensing, coherent LIDAR and coherent communications. In addition, Ethernal’s small size and low mass are proving to be enabling factors for critical space and military deployment applications
