Design and optimisation of photonic components such as optical fibres and illumination elements. The work includes adapting components to specific light sources and improving light distribution in compact designs where space and geometry constrain performance. Simulation-based evaluation in 3D models is used to analyse design variations and document changes in output, uniformity and overall system behaviour. We also provide help for the development of new photonics products and design of optical systems.

Help to develop photonic products
Get support when problems delay photonic product development or when new products need a stronger start.
Aiding the development of photonic products becomes relevant when manufacturers encounter problems during development or production, or when they need support to start developing new products with photonic content. In these phases, unresolved issues can delay progress, weaken the basis for a good initial design and make it harder to move product development, demonstrators, proof-of-concept work, research applications and subsequent research activity forward.
Why early clarification matters
The Photonics services support manufacturers who need help creating clarity in development phases where technical problems, risk and uncertainty affect progress. This is relevant both when an existing photonic product or optical system needs troubleshooting and when a new photonic product needs start-up assistance.
Challenges
When problems or uncertainty arise in the development of photonic products, progress comes to a halt.
Unclear problem cause blocks next action
When the cause of a problem in a photonic product or optical system is not identified, development or production teams cannot define the next action or prioritise corrective work.
Unidentified risks disrupt planning
When risks are not identified early in development of new products with photonic content, planning of tasks, resources and timelines becomes unreliable.
Weak initial design creates rework
When a robust initial design is not established, later development work, demonstrators and proof of concept activities require rework and adjustment.
Benefits
Get a professional overview, lower risks and better support for the next steps in development.
Get a professional overview
Manufacturers get a professional overview of the product challenge or development situation. This helps clarify where the work stands and supports the next steps in development of photonic products.
Identify and reduce risks
The work supports identification and reduction of risks in development phases for new products with photonic content. This can make start-up work clearer and support more robust progress in the following development activities.
Reduce development time
The service can help reduce development time when technical problems or uncertainty hold back progress. This includes the possibility of adding CAF resources to this work.
Identify competence needs
Manufacturers can get help identifying where additional competencies are needed in the development process. This supports targeted competence uplift when new photonic products and systems are being developed.
