Tydex is a private company founded in 1994 in St. Petersburg, the optics ‘heart’ of Russia, by former scientists from the Ioffe Physical-Technical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The company specializes in custom manufacturing of optical components and instruments for research and the industry, including spectroscopy, pyrometry and thermography, THz photonics, sensors and detectors, metrology, lasers, and more.

Application wavelengths range from DUV to VIS, NIR, MIR, and MM waves (THz), depending on the materials used, component shapes, coatings, and instruments. Our R&D department develops THz components, devices and instruments which are then produced in-house. We also cooperate closely with state optics manufacturing enterprises and research institutes.
