Photonics engineering

Photonics engineering focuses on generating, controlling, and detecting light to create advanced technologies such as lasers, fiber‑optic systems, and optical sensors. With deep expertise in physics and system engineering, our multidisciplinary teams develop solutions that enable high‑speed data communication, precision medical instruments, and other essential high‑tech applications.

As a rapidly growing field, photonics drives innovation across sectors like healthcare, aerospace, semiconductors, and quantum technology. Its ability to deliver faster, more accurate, and energy‑efficient systems makes photonics a cornerstone of next‑generation products and industrial processes.

Demcon high-tech systems and Demcon focal combine decades of experience in multidisciplinary system engineering with deep expertise in optics, optomechatronics, and precision mechanics. We help photonics innovators bridge the gap between research and industrialization, accelerating time-to-market without compromising performance.

photonic chips

our multidisciplinary approach

Photonics systems are inherently complex, requiring seamless integration of optics, mechanics, electronics, and software. At Demcon, we bring all these disciplines together under one roof, ensuring that design decisions are made in an integrated manner rather than sequentially. This approach prevents sub-optimizations and accelerates development.

optical design
& alignment

We design optomechatronic modules where optical elements, positioning, and mechanical stability function as one system. This includes beam shaping, active/passive alignment, and optical columns resistant to thermal and mechanical variations.

metrology &
thermal control

Leveraging experience from semicon and aerospace, we ensure mechanical rigidity and thermal stability, critical for photonic packaging and reliability.

electronics &
control systems

Our teams develop advanced control architectures for active alignment, vibration isolation, and adaptive optics.

software
& simulation

Using multiphysics simulations, we validate designs early, predict thermal and mechanical behavior, and optimize system performance before hardware is built.

driving industrialization in photonics.

The photonics industry is at a tipping point. Integrated photonic chips promise breakthroughs in data communication, sensing, and healthcare, but the step from prototype to scalable product remains a major challenge. Like quantum, photonics is a relatively young market with few practical applications and rapidly evolving specifications. This is where we can add value.
