Narrator: Light is everywhere. From telecommunications, biomedicine and security to alternative energy and environmental monitoring, light powers our civilization and shapes the world we live in.
The Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre gives innovators a place to prototype, test and produce commercial-grade photonic devices.
The $150 million facility is the one of only a handful in the world…
…distinguished by its team of expert photonic engineers and scientists with decades of industry experience.
The Centre gives companies access to state-of-the-art design, fabrication and testing facilities…
…and offers feasibility testing, simulation and design services, single-stop foundry capabilities and pilot and low-volume production of IIIV [pronounced “three-five”] semiconductor photonic devices.
We specialize in epitaxy…
…fabrication…
…nano-imprinting…
…test and characterization of materials, processes and devices.
The CPFC supports Canada’s burgeoning photonic industry by accelerating innovation and the commercialization of ideas. Taking advantage of our facilities and expertise, organizations can minimize the investment risk associated with development and demonstration.
A leader in the photonics industry—both in Canada and around the world—the CPFC bridges the gap between innovation and commercialization, helping bring cutting-edge photonics products to market.
