Optoscribe produces pioneering 3D photonic integrated circuits. Its innovative and proprietary laser direct-write technology produces optical components at a wafer level, primarily for high volume optical transceiver manufacturers supplying the rapidly growing data centre market.
The company’s solution enables a simple and precise means of getting light to and from the components within optical transceivers and other photonic integrated circuits. This facilitates transceiver manufacturers to adopt more automated, high volume assembly processes resulting in substantial reductions in overall costs.

The cloud data centre market is experiencing explosive growth to meet consumer expectations for on-demand, high quality and real-time access to content across a wide range of devices. Optoscribe’s glass-based integrated photonic components offer a unique solution to the challenges faced by the transceiver vendors.
