Photonics

We provide solutions for assessing the performance and quality of your photonic devices at the early stages of the manufacturing process. 

Our wafer level testing allows you to evaluate the functionality, reliability and consistency of photonic components directly on the wafer before they are diced and packaged.  

This enables us to identify defects, optimise process parameters and ensure high yields, ultimately reducing production costs and time-to-market. 

Capabilities: 

• Automated optical coupling 
• Electrical and optical measurements  
• Wafer level mapping 

We provide a comprehensive suite of testing capabilities for photonics components involved in high-speed optical communications, such as optical transceivers and laser sources.  

Our state-of-the-art equipment is used to assess key performance parameters such as bandwidth, modulation speed, signal integrity and noise characteristics. 

Testing under various operating conditions, including temperature and voltage fluctuations, allows us to uncover potential vulnerabilities and ensures high performance of the photonic device in the desired application. 

Capabilities: 

• BER measurements 
• Jitter 
• Eye diagrams 
• Extinction ratio 
• Link budget 
• Optical power 
• Large signal modulation 
• Cross talk between channels 

We provide access to advanced testing equipment and techniques to assess and validate the functionality, performance and properties of quantum hardware, such as single photon detectors (SPADs). 

This allows you to make system level engineering decisions to improve the performance and quality of your systems. 

We work with partners to develop highly sensitive and reliable SPADs across a range of application areas, such as 3D LiDAR and imaging, quantum sensing, optical communications, quantum clocks and quantum computing. 

Capabilities: 

• IV and voltage threshold 
• Dark count rate (DCR) 
• Photon detection efficiency (PDE) 
• After pulsing probability 
• Temperature effects
