Our Product Areas - Photonic Packaging & Integration

Photonic Wire Bonds

Photonic wire bonding (PWB) utilises advanced three-dimensional (3D) nano-printing to manufacture single-mode freeform waveguides. Enabling photonic integration between coarsely pre-positioned optical elements and ensuring highly efficient coupling between waveguides of vastly different mode field profiles.

Micro Lenses

3D nano-printing of optical elements, such as beam-shaping elements, free-form mirrors and multi-lens systems for beam expansion. Our technology enables excellent coupling efficiencies with relaxed alignment tolerances, suitable for facet and surface coupling of optical elements and optical fibers.
