PakPIC photonics packaging service

PakPIC offers access to its comprehensive range of photonics packaging services and facilities. PakPIC’s expert engineers will help you to design Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) that are purpose-built for production and packaging at scale. With your supplied PICs, we will design and fabricate mechanical housing, mount and connect each chip with suitable materials for your application, and couple them to I/O fibre arrays with sub-micron precision and ultra-high repeatability. PakPIC services are suitable for all companies and researchers developing photonic systems from TRL 1-9, producing batches in units of 5-50; larger scale production runs will become accessible in late 2025.

PakPIC has extensive expertise in producing systems suitable for vacuum through our core business in space communications, and our systems are entirely compatible with quantum technologies. We are refining our service offering for PICs in cryogenic environments and aim to offer this on a commercial basis in 2025.

A full range of services is available on request. PakPIC staff can advise on PIC design or provide detailed design rules as preferred; services can be engaged at any point in the design-and-build process.
