KEOPSYS

KEOPSYS

The company was founded in 1997 by Dr. Marc Le Flohic, initially under the name of OptoCom Innovation. The first product developed in 1998 was a pulsed fiber laser at 1550nm dedicated to Obstacle Warning System. The company diversified very early on and proposed fiber lasers and high power amplifiers at 1.0 and 1.5 µm for defense, telecom and scientific application. In 2000, the company had grown from a single man operation to a company employing 20 people.

In order to boost the growth of the company, financial partners invested in the company in 2000 and the company changed its name to Keopsys in order to settle its subsidiary Keopsys Inc. on the East coast of the United States.
