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.
Write Field Extension
3D nano-printing of micro optical lens arrays for mastering applications and large lens arrays. The process ensures stitch free printing with nano meter precision to achieve fine features and low surface roughness.
