Large
scale physics experiments for probing the fundamental
nature of the universe require the brain power of many of the
world’s brightest scientists - and they also require detectors
about the size of a house. To make sure these detectors are operating
correctly and able to detect the highly energetic subatomic particles
they are made to find, they simply must be calibrated correctly.
We have made massive (multi-thousand element) fiber optic systems
for calibrating these multi-million dollar particle detectors
and have provided these to several of the world’s premier
particle accelerator facilities.
Fusion reactors promise an inexhaustible source of energy which would be much safer than the nuclear (fission) reactors we now have. Diagnostics and characterization of the plasma within the reactor is critical in the successful development of this technology and requires highly specialized fiber optic systems. High profile fusion experiments going on around the world absolutely must have fiber optics that are precise and work every time. LEONI Fiber Optics is a trusted supplier of these systems on several continents.
Major
health problems, such as cancer and heart disease require
early detection. LEONI Fiber Optics has helped design and then fabricate specialty
fiber optic devices used in fundamental research targeted at developing
new non-invasive early warning tests.
Laser dentistry promises a quantum leap forward in patient comfort. LEONI Fiber Optics manufactures specialty laser delivery fibers that allow dentists to drill teeth and cure fillings in place, virtually instantaneously, and without the noise, vibration or pressure associated with common techniques in use today.
Important medical procedures for treating heart disease, blood clots, stomach ulcers or cancers make use of fiber optics. LEONI Fiber Optics has made prototypes for research into all these areas, and currently we are providing thousands of units per year to major medical device suppliers for doing ulcer surgery.
Jet engines simply cannot fail
or the results may be catastrophic. 
We
are working with one of the world’s leading suppliers of
jet engines, providing high temperature probes which provide feedback
to prevent any such failures.
The Space Shuttle is a platform for advanced research experiments, as are permanent space observation satellites. Experiments and tools on both of these platforms have made use of our unique fiber optic devices.
Our established applications result in fabricating OEM fiber optic assemblies for process and quality control systems used in the manufacturing of everything from milk to vitamins, nylons to cotton, and circuit boards to computer chips. All of these "classic" applications are absolutely critical to the end user of these products; and, if it is important you, it is important to us.
