Optogama

What Optogama does

Optogama is a Lithuania-based designer and manufacturer of custom DPSS lasers, optical components, and precision thin film coatings, founded in 2015 and headquartered at Mokslininkų str. 6B, Vilnius. The company specializes in Diode-Pumped Solid-State (DPSS) laser technology, with a particular focus on eye-safe 1.54 μm wavelength nanosecond lasers used in LIDAR, laser ranging, LIBS, and metrology applications, and operates a thin film coating services business using electron beam (E-beam) and Ion Beam Sputtering (IBS) deposition. It cites more than 30 years of accumulated experience in thin film coatings, holds ISO 9001:2015 certification, and maintains a library of over 200 standard coating recipes (AR, HR, partial reflection, polarizing, beamsplitting, wavelength-separating) serving high-power laser, semiconductor, medical, and defense customers.

The product portfolio comprises three categories: DPSS lasers (WAVEGUARD Nd:YAG series, KAUKAS eye-safe 1.54 μm family with standard, high-repetition-rate, and continuous-wave variants, and the RANGER ruggedized laser), beam delivery devices (motorized and manual power attenuators, motorized and fixed beam expanders, ultrafast shutters, polarization rotators, flat top converters), and laser accessories (UV-NIR beam visualizers, IR viewers, laser diode drivers including the LR100 100A model, and compact laser modules). Optogama also provides custom laser development services and precision coating services. Unit prices for core laser products are publicly listed at approximately 3,600-5,900 EUR per unit depending on pulse energy and whether a driver is included, indicating a low-ticket hardware sale business with a custom-engineering overlay.

The company sells directly to global B2B customers through its e-commerce website (optogama.com) and a secondary storefront (4lasers.com) under sub-brands including KAUKAS, RANGER, WAVEGUARD, and 4lasers, with payment via wire transfer and PayPal. Its go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales supported by sales engineers attending industry exhibitions and engaging directly with defense integrators, R&D laboratories, drone LIDAR developers, metrology instrument makers, and LIBS system manufacturers. Optogama has 11-50 employees, is privately held with no public ownership or institutional investor information disclosed, and received a Eurostars grant of approximately $334,150 in July 2016 as its only disclosed external funding event.
