High-power laser technology for demanding applications
Cutting Edge Optronics (CEO) is a specialist manufacturer of high-power laser diode arrays, laser gain modules, diode-pumped solid-state (DPSS) lasers and laser diode drivers. As part of Northrop Grumman, CEO combines specialist laser engineering and manufacturing expertise with the resources of a global technology organisation.
With more than three decades of experience, Cutting Edge Optronics has developed a reputation for producing reliable, high-performance laser components and systems for demanding commercial, industrial, medical, scientific and aerospace applications. Its vertically integrated approach means that critical elements of its laser systems – including laser diodes, gain modules and drive electronics – can be developed and manufactured within the organisation.

Cutting Edge Optronics is particularly well suited to applications requiring high optical power, reliability, stability and long-term performance, including LIDAR, laser materials processing, laser peening, medical lasers, ultrafast amplifier pumping and other advanced scientific and industrial applications. From high-power diode arrays and gain modules to complete DPSS laser systems and drivers, CEO provides the building blocks for sophisticated laser architectures.
Specialising in the technologies at the heart of high-power solid-state laser systems, offering high-power laser diode bars and arrays, laser gain modules, DPSS lasers and high-current laser diode drivers. Its products span standard and custom configurations, from individual diode components through to complete laser systems, supporting applications including LIDAR, laser materials processing, laser peening, medical systems and ultrafast amplifier pumping. With its vertically integrated approach, CEO can provide the critical components and systems needed to develop reliable, high-performance laser solutions.
Our partnership brings together Cutting Edge Optronics’ high-power laser technology with Acal BFi’s photonics expertise, application knowledge and local technical support.
