Our Company

OSI Optoelectronics was formed in 2006 as a result of consolidation of several subsidiaries under the same brand name with matching capabilities serving the same customers and applications. The move was to enhance our focus on the core business and utilize all resources within the companies to provide the best possible products.

UDT Sensors

Founded in 1967, UDT Sensors is one the largest manufacturer of standard and custom photo-detectors, photodiodes and optical sensors in United States. UDT Sensors delivered engineering support and manufacturing capabilities that included but not limited to Commercial and Military Standard X-ray, UV, Visible, NIR photo-sensors, as well as thin/thick film ceramic hybrid modules.

Centro Vision

The Company was spun off by Centronics Ltd in the mid 80’s. Since then it has become one of the dominant players in the silicon photodiode industry producing UV, Visible and Near IR detectors. OSI Systems, Inc acquired the company in 2002.

OSI Fibercomm

Established by OSI Systems Inc. in 1998, OSI Fibercomm offered innovative and leading-edge optical transmission solutions in forms of photo-detectors and subsystems for optical network applications relating to high-speed data and voice transports. The company also provides custom fiber-optic subsystem designs and manufacturing services to a wide base of industry clients.
