Princeton Optronics Information

About Us Located in Mercerville, NJ, Princeton Optronics is a privately held, venture funded company engaged primarily in the development and manufacture of high power vertical cavity surface emitting diode lasers (VCSELs), diode pumped solid state lasers and low noise diode pumped ultrastable lasers. Princeton Optronics was founded in 1993 and has since been working in various cutting edge technology areas including low noise diode pumped solid state lasers, VCSELs and other high power diode laser products, mostly with Venture Capital and DoD funding. Princeton Optronics is located in a 30,000 square ft facility (shown in figure in this page and where it moved in 2001), which has over 1000 square ft clean room for device fabrication and 10,000 square ft of optical manufacturing facility. We also have a fully equipped reliability and qualification facility for its products many of which are used for US military applications. Breakthrough research in Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Diode Lasers, low noise diode pumped ultrastable lasers and other diode pumped solid state lasers, an outgrowth of DOD sponsored research, prompted the company to seek venture funding to focus on the market demand for optical components and sub-systems. The company has strong financial backing from leading venture investors to accelerate its commercial development process. These investors include Novak Biddle Venture Partners and Technology Venture Partners.
