Pulsar Optics

About Pulsar

Pulsar's history dates back to 1991 when it was started by a group of friends who shared a passion for expanding human abilities in Lithuania.

These enthusiasts assembled the first few wooden observation tubes in the basement of an unfinished residential building.

The company evolved through several milestones, becoming Yukon Advanced Optics in 1994 and establishing the "Pulsar" trademark in 2009 for thermal imaging flagship products.

By 2005, Pulsar was producing 70% of the world's Gen 1 night vision devices and became a pioneer in civilian thermal imaging cameras.

Three decades later, Pulsar has become the top worldwide brand of thermal and digital day & night vision imaging devices with over 1,200 employees across eight facilities in seven countries.
