The FinnLight platform is fully accessible to external users, contributing not only to high-impact and cutting-edge science but also serving industrial actors.
Photonics technologies are a key aspect of future technological developments. Application fields include industrial process control, pharmaceutical analysis, health care, environmental monitoring, safety, and security. The infrastructure enables the development of new materials, advanced light sources, optical and integrated components for sensors and LIDAR applications, quantum technologies, photovoltaic technologies, AR/VR, and communications. Such national photonics-dedicated infrastructure is unique in Finland, ultimately offering new opportunities for national and international collaboration and establishing Finland as one of the main European Photonics.
We offer a wide range of design capabilities for designing optical systems, photonic components and light sources, and silicon photonics. We also provide training in optical engineering.
Our capabilities cover a wide range of materials including carbon-based materials, semiconductors, photovoltaic materials, coatings, thin-films, and glasses. We also have a wide range of fabrication methods including epitaxy, lithography, atomic layer deposition, and 3D printing optics.
Our partners have expertise and technology for optical waveguides and interconnects, assembly of components and packaging as well as manufacturing of prototypes.
Characterization
We offer a wide range of characterization methods for materials, light sources, optical components, surface analysis, high-speed testing, and spectral analysis.
