Luxel Corporation is a nanotechnology research company based in Friday Harbor, Washington, with more than four decades of activity in developing optical filter materials and methods. It focuses on producing filters and windows that are larger, stronger, and thinner than previously thought possible, offering materials across more than seventy families to help researchers distinguish regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. The company serves researchers in space exploration and related scientific fields, supplying components such as laser targets, photocathodes, CCD filters, TEM supports, pressure windows, and specialized filters for soft x-ray and high-energy physics research. Luxel's filters are designed to be light-tight and pinhole-free, with robustness to withstand launch conditions and pressure differentials, and custom frame options are available. In addition to thin-film filters, the company offers thermal evaporation equipment, including RADAK furnaces and advanced control systems. A notable recent development is the exclusive license with Harvard University, announced in 2021, to manufacture and commercialize GridTape for research purposes.
