Polyus (Russian: Полюс) is a research institute and production association in Moscow, Russia. It is part of the Shvabe Holding (Rostec group).[1]
The Polyus Scientific Research Institute (NII Polyus) is closely associated with the Polyus Scientific Production Association (NPO Polyus), a small factory, and the Institute of Physics and Technology, all of which are located at the same address.[2] NPO Polyus produces lasers and associated components, electronics articles, and electrovacuum devices.[2]
NII Polyus works in the field of quantum electronics and develops and manufactures experimental models in the areas of cryoelectronics, magnetism, and electrovacuum devices.[2] NII Polyus oversees several laboratories and production enterprises. These production enterprises are located in Moscow Oblast, Tula, Ulyanovsk, and the Nizhniy Novgorod Oblast.[2]
NII Polyus has also developed missile laser technology, including laser gyroscopes for missile nose cone guidance, various other types of solid-state multi-purpose lasers, laser components, and electro-optic equipment, and has carried out global positioning system work with Aeroflot and MiG aircraft.[2]
