why openphotonics?

Everyday we interact with two distinct, but complementary, groups. There are companies struggling to implement the technology needed to serve their customers due to their lack of experience with photonics. In contrast, there are innovators with precisely this experience, but no connection to commercialization pathways. Open Photonics uses our experience and vast network to bridge the gap between these two groups.

Our approach to product development is extremely cost effective and accelerates time to market by linking our customer’s capabilities and market channels with the best minds, infrastructure, and partners inside the photonics industry.
