Public Profile

OPTRA is no longer in Business. The firm was an electro-optics company engaged in research in precision measurements using lasers, providing a unique blend of innovative new products together with contractual R&D. The firm's distance metrology technology is targeted at the semiconductor and other precision manufacturing markets. OPTRA’s nanotechnology solutions are designed to exceed the performance of laser interferometers within a manufacturing environment at lower cost. OPTRA also performs work in related high precision spectroscopy fields for government and industry. Optra is a part of a team, including Intellitec, Honeywell, and Recon/Optical selected to develop and manufacture the next generation of chemical warfare agent detectors for the Department of the Army. OPTRA technical capabilities service a wide range of topics, and the entire range of product development stages: from concept development to OEM manufacturing; Nanometer resolution metrology; Detection technology and signal processing; Digital Imaging and Image Analysis o Image-based Tracking; Laser based interferometry; Laser beam steering systems; Motion control systems; Optical design and precision optical assembly; Radiometry; Spectroscopic techniques; Fourier transform spectrometers; Scanning Fabry-Perot spectrometers; Dispersive spectrometers (prisms, gratings, etc.); Tunable diode laser spectrometers; Raman spectrometers; and Stabilized laser light sources.
