Optoscribe, a global supplier of 3D waveguide technology for optical communications, today announced its plans to expand with a move to new facilities.
The new facility in Livingston UK, boasts a cleanroom with additional office space and room for further expansion.
Nick Psaila, CEO of Optoscribe, said:
"Being based in the Alba Innovation Centre was a good starting point; however the expansion was a necessary and major step for the company. The move will allow us to increase our production capacity as we continue to develop new products."
Optoscribe is currently recruiting for new positions and will continue to do so over the course of 2014.
About Optoscribe
The hurdles often associated with the adoption of new technology are overcome by using our unique waveguide technology. We provide innovative products that are set to revolutionise the optical telecommunications network and help shape the future.
Our accurate 3D embedded waveguides allow the fabrication of devices that are impossible to produce using solely planar technologies, opening new possibilities and integration scenarios.
Optoscribe Ltd.
We use proven and tested manufacturing processes to enable simple volume scalability and ensure that our products are designed to meet the needs of the telecommunications markets.
Our 3D Optofan Series and 3D MMux Photonic Lantern combine multiple components into a single platform to enable high throughput, low insertion loss and a broad flat spectral response over telecoms bands.
This leads to the transmission of high data rates, decreased footprint and reduced assembly costs, for both short and long haul communications. Optoscribe was founded in 2010 and has become a recognised supplier of trusted, high performance 3D waveguide based solutions.
Formed as a spin-out from the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences at Heriot Watt University, Optoscribe is built on a strong foundation of knowledge and expertise in the application of photonic technologies.
Optoscribe is located in Livingston, between the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow.
