Case Studies

  • KETS Quantum Security

    KETS Quantum Security

    KETS Quantum Security develop chip-based quantum key distribution and random number generation solutions for blue chip organisations.

    “We worked with Light Trace Photonics on the design of a photonic integrated circuit and were thoroughly impressed.

    Their technical expertise, responsiveness, and attention to detail greatly helped our design and development process.

    They offered valuable insights, helping us avoid costly mistakes.

    Highly recommended for anyone who needs support for their chip design processes."

    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.
