One day, all lasers will be made this way
This is a breakthrough in laser technology that’s been 30 years in the making. That’s what Vector Photonics is bringing to the world. Born from cutting-edge research at the University of Glasgow, a global leader in optics, we’re revolutionising lasers with our PCSELs – a new type of surface-emitting laser.
Why are these lasers so special? They’re powerful, versatile, and can be made at a lower cost than traditional lasers. Plus, their unique design makes them incredibly easy to integrate into everyday electronics and industrial equipment, opening up a world of new possibilities.
We’re not just a research project; we’re a team of experienced innovators and business builders, backed by millions in investment and government funding. We’re leveraging existing manufacturing processes and a strong patent portfolio to bring this game-changing technology to market.
Think faster data centres, more efficient manufacturing, and countless new applications. Vector Photonics is lighting the way to the future of laser technology.
The semiconductor
laser revolution
Semiconductor lasers are revolutionising our lives in the 21st Century. They are critical components in data communications; additive manufacturing, including metal and plastic printing; LiDAR; and optical sensing – the fastest growing technology markets in the world right now.
Each one of these markets enables many new products and businesses, in industries as diverse as medicine, communications, defence, security, automotive, agriculture and manufacturing.
Hyper-Datacenters
Vector Photonics is focused on Cloud Datacenter applications in the datacoms market, where its lasers significantly reduce the power consumption in next-generation datacentres and co-located optics applications. This is a huge growth market driven by the proliferation of mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT) and the 5G roll-out.
In future, PCSEL technology will also enable significant performance breakthroughs in metal and plastic printing, LiDAR, and optical sensing – some of the fastest growing technology markets in the world.
