We work as project supervisors for integrated projects – from design to prototyping to testing – as well as on specific steps or sub-systems of a larger project or product. Our research projects are structured in collaboration with private companies. Our team has wide-ranging experience in applied research in an industrial setting. We define our projects to meet your needs and adapt to the challenges related to development and technology transfer for businesses. With our equipment inventory, we can help you meet your specific needs in laboratory services. These services include fast prototyping, 3D digitization, photometric characterizations, fibre optic packaging, thin film deposition and specialized cameras.

GiGa Concept is expanding the application possibilities of their achromatic patented polarization controllers and mode scramblers to use any type of optical fibers and primary coatings per user specifications, including acrylate, polyimide and Ormocer to closely match user applications. Any waveguide is compatible with our AnyWave Fiberbench products. Polarization control units are possible with SiO2 SM fiber for 400 nm to over 2100 nm operation with many wavelengths from stock; Zblan InF3, Chalcogenide and other fibers expand the operating wavelength to over 6 um infrared. Mode scrambling units are available with SiO2 MM fiber core sizes 50 um to 2500 um and larger with many from stock; Zblan, InF3, Chalcogenide and other fibers expand the operating wavelength from UV to visible, to over 6 um infrared. Non circular core and other customer specific fibers can be used, including hollow core, large NA, exotic doped fibers, etc.
