Established in 1989 and based in New York, LTS has recently emerged as a strong leader in the field of high-purity optical coating materials, electronic chemicals, and performance chemicals fabrication. Beginning with the production of high laser damage threshold oxides, LTS has expanded its range of products to include fluorides, selenides, sulfides, tellurides, raw materials for crystal growth, and performance chemicals for the opto-electronics industry
LTS is becoming recognized worldwide for its ultra-high purity materials created through DFM® a novel production method for fluorides that allows us to surpass material quality achieved by conventional means. We have also designed new transmission enhancing oxide compounds through liquid phase formulation (LPF).
Our unique integrated manufacturing capabilities facilitate a strong program of made-to-order items. Since we manufacture many of our own starting materials, we maintain total control over every production process. This enables us to make adjustments to materials and processing techniques at whatever point necessary to match the exact requirements of our customers' specifications. In many cases, what start out as adjustments result in sophisticated production techniques, which are permanently incorporated into our manufacturing process. This is one of the many reasons we remain on the cutting edge of chemical manufacturing technology, and are able to continually meet the changing demands of our customers.
LTS supplies materials to a variety of markets including optics, fiber optics, electronics, automotive, aerospace, crystal growth and the fuel cell. We are capable of vacuum, inert gas, and reactive atmosphere processing, wet-chemical precipitation, milling, blending, sintering, solid-liquid-gas formulation, hot-pressing, hot isostatic pressing, and machining. We have a state-of-the-art research lab that also provides full range of analytical services.
LTS has experienced a steady growth due to its diversity of products and variety of customers. A 26,000 sq. ft. expansion is envisioned in 2003 to house a new production facility and research lab that will allow us to continue to provide superior products and services to our clients.
