Optical Technologies
OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR INDUSTRIAL, SCIENTIFIC, AND OEM APPLICATIONS
In modern photonics and industrial optics, precision is everything. The alignment of lenses, the stability of lasers, and the integrity of fiber optic assemblies directly determine the performance of spectroscopy, imaging, and laser-based systems. At AMS Technologies, we provide a comprehensive portfolio of optical components and subsystems engineered for high stability, low noise, and repeatable performance. Our solutions enable engineers and researchers to manage beam propagation, wavelength stability, and signal integrity across a wide range of applications from laboratory instrumentation to OEM integration.
EXPLORE OUR OPTICAL TECHNOLOGIES PORTFOLIO
AMS Technologies provides a comprehensive portfolio of optical components and subsystems for industrial, scientific, and OEM applications. Laser systems, photonics setups, and precision measurement instruments are at the core of our offerings. The portfolio includes lenses, mirrors, filters, beam splitters, prisms, optical assemblies, light sources, detectors, and optomechanical mounts. These are available both as individual components and as fully integrated solutions.
Complementing these are optical fibers, fiber assemblies, and specialized imaging elements. They support applications such as spectroscopy, optical inspection, fiber optic communication, and advanced photonics research. All solutions are designed to deliver reliable performance, stability, and scalability across a wide variety of optical systems.
AMS Technologies also offers comprehensive solutions for fiber optics processing, including tools for stripping, cleaving, crimping, polishing, cleaning, and adhesive dispensing and curing. Our portfolio also includes optical test and measurement instruments - such as fiber microscopes, interferometers, OTDRs, power meters, beam profilers, and spectrometers - supporting precise evaluation of fibers, connectors, and optical components. Beyond providing the right instruments and materials, we deliver in-depth expert consulting, helping customers optimize fiber assembly, ensure process quality, and maximize system performance across industrial, scientific, and OEM applications.
APPLICATIONS AND SOLUTIONS
Our optical technologies are used in spectroscopy, biomedical imaging, industrial quality control, LIDAR, telecommunications, and scientific research. Whether you need a fiber-coupled laser for OEM integration, a high-precision detector for imaging, or a complete optical system for laboratory or industrial use, our solutions are designed to deliver reliability and performance.
CUSTOM SOLUTIONS AND EXPERT SUPPORT
AMS Technologies goes beyond supplying standard optical components by offering deep expertise in custom system design, integration, and production for demanding photonics applications. When off-the-shelf products are not suited, our specialists work with you to define requirements and assess options. We can either source a custom solution from our manufacturer network or engineer and produce tailored optical solutions in-house - from modified modules and assemblies to complete laser systems and integrated optical subsystems.
Our Photonics Center in Hannover, Germany, serves as the core hub for optical engineering, prototyping, assembly, opto-mechanical construction, calibration, and testing, backed by experienced teams and advanced facilities. In addition, our Daventry photonics facility in the UK supports projects with specialized design capabilities, cleanroom prototyping, simulation, and functional testing across laser, fiber, and imaging technologies. Our technology center in Kraków, Poland, can provide capacities in advanced manufacturing and production subcontracting.
Together, these European centers enable rapid iteration, seamless transition from concept to prototype to low-volume production, and close collaboration with your team throughout the project. With extensive experience in optical design, system integration, and turnkey custom solutions, AMS Technologies delivers photonics solutions engineered for performance, reliability, and your unique application challenges.
