Plastic optical component
With the PolyPhotonics Berlin technology platform, a new technology is emerging on the world market alongside the established semiconductor or glass-based platforms, which is superior to the established solution approaches in many respects. The entrepreneurial vision of the alliance is to become the world leader in polymer-based integration technology and, in addition, to open up and make this platform available to other technology platforms, thereby opening up new fields of application, e.g. in medical or environmental technology.
The PolyPhotonics-Berlin technology platform represents a hybrid-optical construction kit, with which optical basic elements can be integrated to complex and extremely compact functional components for applications in the area of telecom/datacom, sensors and analytics by means of suitable technologies. We are looking forward to your ideas, please contact us.
