- ELAN Ltd. - Optical shop specializing in fabrication of crystalline custom optics for polarizing, acousto-optical, electro-optical and nonlinear applications. Russia.
- Computer Optics Inc. - Leading manufacturer of precision optics and complete optical assembly. Specializing in optics for machine vision including zoom lenses and telecentric optics.
- Advanced Optics, Inc. - Manufacturer of stock and custom optics including optical flats, front surface mirrors, and optical grade windows. Wisconsin.
- Illinois Pulsar-based Optical Interconnect - iPOINT is part of the Optical/Electronics Circuits Group involved in optical ATM networking. For various reasons (header translation, buffering, and fast reconfiguration), ATM networking requires a mix of electronic and optical components. Thus, a Optical/Electronic conversion is needed at some points within the network. iPOINT research investigates the integration of optical components on the same substrate as the transistors and investigates the construction of an input-buffered ATM switch to maximize the throughput of the electronic memory buffers.

- Optical communications repeater - An optical communications repeater is used in a fiber-optic communications system to regenerate an optical signal by converting it to an electrical signal, processing that electrical signal and then retransmitting an optical signal. Such repeaters are used to extend the reach of optical communications links by overcoming loss due to attenuation of the optical fibre and distortion of the optical signal.
- Passive optical network - A passive optical network (PON) is a point-to-multipoint, fiber to the premises network architecture in which unpowered optical splitters are used to enable a single optical fiber to serve multiple premises, typically 32. A PON consists of an Optical Line Termination (OLT) at the service provider's central office and a number of Optical Network Units (ONUs) near end users.
- Polarization-maintaining optical fiber - In fiber optics, polarization-maintaining optical fiber (PMF or PM fiber) is an optical fiber in which the polarization planes of light waves launched into the fiber are maintained during propagation with little or no cross-coupling of optical power between the polarization modes. The maintaining of polarization is increasingly important in modern telecommunication systems, as our society demands higher bandwidth ...
- Optical wireless - Optical wireless is the combined use of "optical" (optical fibre) and "wireless" (radio frequency) communication to provide telecommunication to clusters of end points which are geographically distant. The optical fibre is used to span the longest distances, then a wireless link transmits the signal to nearby houses.
- Optical rectification - Electro-optic rectification (EOR) (also referred to as optical rectification) is a non-linear optical process which consists in the generation of a DC polarization in a non-linear medium at the passage of an intense optical beam. For typical intensities, optical rectification is a second order phenomenon (difference frequency mixing)Rice et al.
