Paul continued and commercialized his work through Linden Laser Systems, based in Lampe, Missouri. The company described itself simply: “over 30 years of custom laser design, development, installation and show labor.”
What the company did
Under Linden Laser Systems, Paul offered custom laser projection systems, optics, holography, show control, and installations — the full range of what he had spent his career building. The work included:
- the ProFX and Taurus multi-plane laser video imagers, capable of full-color images up to thirty feet across with an exceptionally deep field of focus;
- the Stingray II, a self-contained YAG laser projector for aerial beams and fans, built to the ILDA standard so it could plug into a client’s own show-control computer; and
- lumia — abstract compositions of moving laser light, an art form Paul returned to throughout his life.
A worldwide client list
Paul’s own materials listed clients spanning corporate, entertainment, and international projects — among them IBM (U.S. and Korea), the Disney Channel, General Motors Design, Lucent Technologies, Major League Baseball, and the Kansai Electric Power Company of Osaka, Japan — with installations reaching as far as Wakayama.
It is the through-line of Paul’s whole story: the arcade technician who learned how entertainment behaves in the real world, grew into the show director who orchestrated it, and became the inventor who found a new way to project full-color video at enormous scale — and then spent decades doing it for clients around the world.
