About Alfalight

Alfalight building

Alfalight designs and manufactures reliable, rugged, and efficient laser and electro-optical systems for defense and security applications. Alfalight’s products and embedded electro-optical modules include precision short-wave infrared (SWIR), near infrared (NIR), and visible lasers.

Our interdisciplinary team works closely with customers to turn needs into realizable specifications that drive the development of well-engineered designs. The resulting systems meet all requirements, are manufacturable, are thoroughly tested, and transition effectively to full production.

Alfalight is ITAR registered and entirely US-based, enabling us to deliver turnkey electro-optical systems rapidly and cost effectively.
