In addition to lenses, the system may include mirrors and paraxial (feature size of the structures is much larger than the wavelength(s) of interest) diffractive surfaces. We also offer illumination design and analysis. - [Diffractive optics and nanophotonics design](https://finnlight.fi/services/design/diffractive-optics-and-nanophotonics-design/) - Diffractive optics is based on the phenomenon of light diffraction induced by wavelength-scale surface structures. The structures can affect either the phase or amplitude of the incident light or on both. Diffractive optics can be applied in beam splitters, diffractive lenses, beam shaping, etc. Nanophotonics involves the interaction of light with structures with dimensions smaller than the used wavelength. In our case, we divide this into two categories: metamaterials and plasmonic structures. Metamaterials can be used, for example, in polarizers and as a replacement for diffractive optics. Plasmonic structures are typically used in enhancing light fields, e.g., in Raman and fluorescent spectroscopy. We offer rigorous electromagnetic theory-based design services for diffractive optics and nanophotonic components. - [Waveguide optics design](https://finnlight.fi/services/design/waveguide-optics-design/) - Optical waveguides propagate light along a core where light is confined by a refractive index difference between the core and the cladding material.

Lithography techniques can be divided into two types: masked lithography and maskless lithography. Masked lithography such as photolithography and nanoimprint lithography makes use of masks to transfer patterns over a large area simultaneously making the process cost-effective. Maskless lithography such as electron beam lithography and laser writing enable arbitrary patterns with high-resolution and a minimum feature size as small as a few nanometers. - [Thin film deposition and epitaxy](https://finnlight.fi/services/fabrication/thin-film-deposition-and-epitaxy/) - Thin film deposition enables the development of advanced technologies by precisely depositing thin layers of materials onto solid surfaces through different techniques. Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) operates through a sequential, self-limiting reaction mechanism that allows for the controlled growth of thin films with atomic-level accuracy, resulting in conformal and uniform coatings with exceptional control over film composition and thickness. Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) is crystalline thin film deposition method used for the fabrication of semiconductor devices that operates under ultra-high vacuum conditions and involves the evaporation of elemental or molecular species from separate sources allowing for growing atomic layers with well-defined interfaces. - [Flip-chip and die bonding](https://finnlight.fi/services/integration/flip-chip-and-die-bonding/) - Photonic modules and systems can be realized by integrating together different photonic and electronic chips and by further integrating those with e.g. microfluidic chips or hermetic sealing caps. Here we summarize those services and tools that relate to the hybrid-integration of chip or dies. Integration can be done on top of other chips, on full wafers or even on flexible substrates. - [Waveguide and fiber alignment](https://finnlight.fi/services/integration/waveguide-and-fiber-alignment/) - Optical waveguides and fibers need to be precisely aligned together during component characterization and before the permanent assembly of fiber-pigtails to photonic waveguide chips. Required alignment accuracy can be from several micrometers to - [Optical module packaging](https://finnlight.fi/services/integration/optical-module-packaging/) - Module-level packaging of photonics typically involves steps like fiber-pigtailing, precise alignment of other photonic components, integration of control and readout electronics, microfluidics integration, thermal management and/or (hermetic) sealing. Please refer to the service cards below for related services, tools and contact persons. - [Optical component characterization](https://finnlight.fi/services/characterization/optical-component-characterization/) - Here we list those services and tools that relate to the characterization of optical and photonic components, except for those that exclusively fall under the other characterization service categories (light sources, signal generation, microscopy, surface analysis etc.). - [Light source characterization](https://finnlight.fi/services/characterization/light-source-characterization/) - Characterizing the properties of light beams is essential to ensure the desired performance, optimize their efficiency, and achieve precise control over applications ranging from scientific research to industrial processes.

Please refer to the service cards below for more information and contact details. - [Optical signal generation and analysis](https://finnlight.fi/services/characterization/optical-signal-generation-and-analysis/) - Optical signal generation involves the creation of light signals with specific properties for various applications. This process typically utilizes devices such as lasers, light-emitting diodes or optical modulators to generate optical signals with precise characteristics such as intensity, wavelength, and modulation format. Optical signal generation is crucial in telecommunications, fiber optic communications, optical sensing, and other fields where the transmission of information or the manipulation of light is required. Optical signal analysis relates tothe detection and measurement of optical signals, allowing for assessing the signals quality, identifying impairments, and ensuring reliable transmission. Techniques such as optical spectrum analysis, power measurements, eye diagram analysis, and polarization analysis are typically used to evaluate characteristics such as power levels, spectral content, modulation depth, bit error rate, and polarization state. - [Surface and shape analysis](https://finnlight.fi/services/characterization/surface-and-shape-analysis/) - Photonic components come in many shapes and sizes from macroscopic lenses and microscopic waveguides to nanoscale patterns in diffractive optical elements. It is important and sometimes challenging to precisely measure surface roughnesses, linewidths, corner roundings, curvatures and shapes of such components. Here we list those services and tools that relate to the characterization of surfaces and shapes. - [Material and thin film characterization](https://finnlight.fi/services/characterization/material-and-thin-film-characterization/) - Our comprehensive characterization techniques allows for in-depth analysis and understanding of the properties, structures, and behaviors of various materials and thin films.
