LightPath announces expansion of optical coating capabilities

LightPath Technologies announced the commissioning of additional optical coating capabilities and capacity in its facility in Riga, Latvia, and the availability of a new, high durability coating from that facility. LightPath’s Riga facility, added in 2017 through the acquisition of ISP Optics, is a center of excellence for production of infrared optical components. In 2021 LightPath began adding optical coating capabilities to the Riga operation, making it vertically integrated and enabling it to produce complete components from start to finish without depending on other LightPath facilities in the US and China. The addition of this capability in Riga has since enabled LightPath to tap into the European defense market, which requires all components to be produced inside the European Union.
