OEWAVES, INC

OEwaves, Inc. is a Pasadena, California-based precision photonics company founded in 2000 as a spinoff from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The company was founded by Dr. Lute Maleki, a physicist and former JPL researcher who invented the optoelectronic oscillator and pioneered the use of whispering gallery mode optical resonators — the two foundational technologies underpinning all OEwaves products. OEwaves designs and manufactures ultra-narrow-linewidth lasers, high-performance RF/mmWave/THz systems, and test and measurement instruments for aerospace and defense, quantum technology, precision metrology, advanced communications, and sensing applications. The company holds over 151 patents, operates a 3,000 sq ft Class 10K clean room, and distributes products across 23 countries through 20 global distributors. OEwaves serves government agencies and Tier 1 suppliers, and has received over $15M in grant funding from federal sources including NASA and the Department of Defense.
