A U.S. transportation company developing a system to detect road hazards, like potholes, needed a laser solution but lacked in-house expertise. They approached RPMC for a turnkey system to demonstrate their concept. Our team collaborated closely, delivering a fiber-coupled laser diode with optics and line generation to showcase their system’s capabilities. After successful demonstrations, they sought a production-ready OEM solution. We provided a compact, cost-effective package with a fiber-coupled laser diode, temperature controller, and independent driver, optimized for high-volume production. This streamlined integration, reduced costs, and met their space constraints, enabling a successful transition to market.

Laser Solution: Fiber-coupled laser diode with line generation, compact OEM components for road hazard detection

Outcome: Facilitated rapid demo deployment, cost-effective production & reliable market deployment
