About Us

Columbia Gorge Research LLC was organized in 2004 and began full operations in January 2006. The company is highly directed toward the design and development of fiber optic sensor systems that have economic and performance advantages over existing technical solutions. Initial efforts were focused on the high value platforms associated with aerospace, defense, and oil and gas applications. This has expanded over the years to include medical and electric power applications where cost and harsh environments are significant factors.

Columbia Gorge Research has been highly successful in collaborations with businesses in generating technical demonstrations and enabling product development. This success has been due in part to collaborations with many institutions, university, and suppliers who understand that Columbia Gorge Research will be a neutral evaluator of their technology and incorporate it as appropriate into optimized fiber optic systems for Columbia Gorge Research customers.
