Now President Giovanni Tomasi sees a newer laser-driven revolution propelling RSL in a range of new directions.
Contracts to supply innovative lighting solutions to the U.S. Navy remain at the heart of the business. RSL’s fiber optic technologies light the masts of several U.S. Navy ships as well as frigates of the Italian navy.
The system solves a variety of problems of traditional electrical connections in hard-to-reach places. It cuts maintenance costs and bypasses cable deterioration concerns.
RSL, which has six employees, has expanded its fiber optic scope to include lighting for areas where hazardous chemicals make traditional lighting dangerous. It also uses fiber optics to measure methane in coal mines and sense temperature changes in a variety of industrial settings.
