Our expertise

Our different partners have a long experience in

• Electromagnetic field control incl. coherence and polarization

• Modeling, design, analysis, and development of optical systems, structures with nano- and micro-scale features, silicon waveguides and heterogeneous integration techniques, highly stable laser sources and laser diodes, solar cells, tailored light sources for sensing and imaging

• Instrumentation for measuring moisture, analyzing chemical composition, characterizing the thickness and uniformity of materials, spectral imaging

Our capabilities

We develop the knowledge generated by the Flagship partners for a wide range of potential applications. Example of unique know-how incl. but are not limited to portable and disposable sensors, broadband light sources, LIDAR technologies, smart photovoltaic modules. We also have a wide range of instruments and services that we can offer for industrial collaborations:

• silicon processing
• active and passive polymer photonic devices that can be produced by high volume production methods for energy harvesting and sensor applications
• prototyping for illuminating, imaging and sensing optics
• volume production methods
• molecular beam epitaxy for optoelectronics devices processing
• 3D printing of centimeter-scale optics

We can also develop tailored solutions to specific problems.
