World leaders in photonic hybrid integration

CIP specialise in hybrid integration, combining materially different components on a single platform to create innovative photonic devices.

World-leading photonic services and equipment all under one roof

Working with CIP you have access to our services, equipment and more than 600 years of photonics knowledge all under one roof.

World-class products

We have a large range of passive, active and hybrid photonic devices designed for research, optical sensing, defense and aerospace, data communications and telecommunication applications.

Research

CIP are heavily involved in collaborative research projects that promote the use of photonics to solve real-world problems and develop new applications for photonics devices. CIP work with partners on European Union funded photonic and optoelectronic projects and Government funded initiatives and with Universities and Research Institutes to develop innovative optoelectronic and photonic devices.

Quality

CIP are ISO9001:2000 registered and approved.

The early days

Our core team were instrumental in the development of EDFAs and SOAs along with buried hetrostructure multi quantum well device structures using MOCVD.
