ABOUT US
G&H has world class photonic technologies and capabilities. Dedicated to delivering engineering, design and manufacturing solutions to customers across the globe, our core capabilities span five key technologies: acousto-optics, electro-optics, fiber optics, precision optics and optical systems.
From our sites around the world, in the US, UK, and Far East, we combine high levels of innovation with robust new product development to push the performance of photonics and commercialize new products, side by side with our customers.
G&H technology is integral to the reliability and performance of systems which are deployed in the deepest oceans and orbits in space. For more than 70 years, we have supplied critical components and subsystems for demanding applications in industry and telecoms, aerospace and defense and life sciences.
Through innovation, next generation solutions and global connectivity, we are changing the world with photonics.
AEROSPACE AND DEFENCE
Supplying mission-critical technology for laser, sensing, and imaging applications under and at sea, on land, in the air, and in space. Our optical systems, components and assemblies are used in a broad range of offensive and defensive applications.
INDUSTRIAL AND TELECOM
From laser pulse control for materials processing, to sensing and undersea communications, we have a reputation for producing photonics components and assemblies of the highest specification and quality.
LIFE SCIENCES AND BIOPHOTONICS
Medical systems and instrumentation OEMs rely on us as a vertically integrated one stop resource for components, systems and assemblies. We provide solutions for medical imaging, surgical systems, critical care and laboratory applications.
