Areas we specialise in:

  • Quantum Photonics

    More than 80% of proposed quantum technologies will rely on photonics.

    At Light Trace, we have a combined 10+ years experience developing quantum photonic computing (DV & CV), quantum-enhanced sensing, and quantum random number generation.

  • Integrated Photonics

    Integrated photonics is one of the fastest growing sector of the photonics industry.

    The Light Trace team have a combined 15+ years designing, fabricating, testing and packaging high-spec integrated photonic devices spanning multiple platforms, wavelengths and applications.

  • Mid-Infrared Sensing

    Advanced, mid-infrared gas sensing promises to revolutionise personal healthcare, help cut gas emissions and improve air quality in our cities.

    The Light Trace team have published several papers on the development of integrated quantum resources for enhanced mid-infrared gas sensing.

Case Studies

International Summer School in Integrated Quantum Photonics

“Light Trace Photonics delivered a well-presented introductory training exercise pitched perfectly for the audience of postgraduate students. The team understood the requirements of the summer school and offered a comprehensive approach to develop highly technical skills in a compressed time-frame.

I would like to praise Light Trace Photonics' effort and enthusiastically recommend their services in design and prototype development as well as specialised photonics training.”
