METROLASER, INCORPORATED

METROLASER, INCORPORATED specializes in advanced optical diagnostics and high-speed sensing systems for extreme environments, leveraging laser-based and digital holographic technologies to enable nonintrusive measurement of transient physical phenomena. Their core expertise lies in ultra-high-speed wavefront sensing, digital holography, laser-induced incandescence, and heterodyne interferometry, applied to characterize hypersonic flows, plasma emissions, debris clouds, and soot particle dynamics. The company excels in developing field-deployable sensors capable of capturing microsecond-scale events in ballistic and aerospace test ranges, with a focus on real-time, non-destructive evaluation of material behavior under extreme thermal and mechanical stress. Their technical differentiators include MHz-rate imaging systems, multi-spectral optical analysis, and instrumentation tailored for harsh, high-vibration test environments. METROLASER maintains a strong, recurring relationship with the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, delivering research and development solutions for hypersonics, re-entry physics, and propulsion diagnostics. For DoD, they support missile defense and hypersonic vehicle testing through advanced optical diagnostics; for NASA, they provide sensor systems for transient flow analysis in wind tunnels and launch environments, often under SBIR/STTR programs. Their primary focus is Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences, specifically applying physics-based instrumentation to solve complex aerospace and defense challenges. They position themselves as a niche provider of mission-critical optical sensing systems where conventional diagnostics fail, serving defense aerospace, propulsion, and materials testing markets. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Laguna Hills, California, METROLASER operates without federal certifications but maintains a focused, technically driven presence in the defense and space R&D ecosystem, delivering specialized instrumentation to mission-sensitive programs.
