Products for Optical Telecommunications
PI has a range of products that are well suited to the telecommunication component manufacturing. We have lasers, positioning components and test equipment that have been proven to improve performance and manufacturing throughput of various optical components.

Space Technology for NanoTech: Eliminate Settling Delays
Developed for the space station, Input Shaping® technology is now available for the NanoWorld: The exclusive Mach™ Throughput Processor™ eliminates resonant ringing in high-speed Nanopositioning systems, allowing rapid motion without a settling phase. This technique also eliminates resonances excited in neighboring components, outside the nanopositioning system's servo loop. The result is significantly increased throughput.
