Photonics Systems
End-to-end engineering in optics and photonics
Since 2017, we have designed, prototyped and manufactured optical systems and optomechanical assemblies for research, industrial and technology applications. Optical design, mechanical engineering, laboratory research and production are brought together in one team.

Engineering workflow
Key stages within one company
Optics, mechanics, experimentation and production affect one another. Our specialists therefore coordinate decisions within a single project team.
PHOTO 01A project can begin with an optical calculation, an experimental model or a manufacturing task. When needed, the team connects these stages into one workflow, passing results between specialists while preserving the original requirements.
This means optical calculations account for mechanics and assembly, experiments test technical hypotheses, and production receives a prepared design with clear verification points.
Optical design
Our optical designers model the system and verify its performance before manufacturing begins.
02Experimentation
In our own laboratories, the team builds experimental setups, takes measurements and tests hypotheses.
03Mechanical design and manufacturing
Engineers and production specialists make parts, tooling and optomechanics for the next iteration.
04Assembly and verification
ISO 6 cleanrooms, laboratory facilities and optical alignment help turn a design into a finished assembly.

Company history
How our engineering capabilities grew
Each stage added a capability: from optical calculations to experiments, in-house mechanics and assembly in a controlled environment.
Company founded
We began working in optics and photonics.
In-house optical laboratory
Calculated designs could now be tested on experimental setups.
Expanded metalworking
We increased our capacity to make our own optomechanics and tooling.
ISO 6 cleanrooms
Controlled conditions became available for assembling contamination-sensitive optical systems.
A team of 20 specialists
Engineers from different disciplines came together in one project environment.
More than 50 projects
Our work spans optical design, prototyping and manufacturing.
Team
Different disciplines, one optical system
Our projects bring together optical designers, mechanical engineers, experimentalists, process engineers, assembly and alignment specialists, software developers and production staff.

How we work
From requirements to a testable solution
- 01
Understand the challenge first
We define parameters and constraints before choosing technologies, components or a mechanical design.
- 02
Validate calculations experimentally
Where technical uncertainty remains, we build a model or prototype before making the final product.
- 03
Work as one project team
Optical designers, mechanical engineers, experimentalists and production specialists coordinate directly and work to the same requirements throughout the project.
- 04
Design for physical implementation
Even at the design stage, we consider assembly, alignment, component availability, mechanics and production.
