Zero Point Motion
Zero Point Motion is developing photonic chip-enabled, next-generation acceleration & rotation sensors.
Light Trace proved to be an invaluable resource to them during the early stages, providing support for layout and helping them meet tight tapeout deadlines. More recently, we have assisted them in exploring entry points into low-loss photonic platforms.
"The Light Trace team was knowledgeable, efficient, and will add value to any silicon photonics activity."

Thorlabs
Light Trace Photonics visited Thorlabs at their Ely, UK location to provide a training session for Thorlabs’ engineers.
The Thorlabs team gained valuable knowledge about the PIC market and motion control needs for the field, while getting hands-on experience coupling light into a PIC chip with the LightPort.
The experience provided insight into new customer use cases for Thorlabs’ technologies and will likely inspire future product designs.
Is your team new to integrated photonics? Are you keen to understand how the technology might be applied in your products?
The Light Trace team can provide world-leading training for your engineers with the LightPort, a cutting-edge module that up-skills engineers, enabling hands-on chip programming.
