PowerPhotonic | Photonex Booth: 217 Headquartered in Dalgety Bay, across the Firth of Forth estuary from Edinburgh, PowerPhotonic delivers efficiency, precision and consistency gains in laser processes and optical systems via its high-quality, wafer-scale, low-scatter freeform optical surfaces.
The firm uses its two decades of design
expertise to support engineers building advanced laser systems for application in healthcare, defence, datacoms and industry. It offers complete design freedom and a range of options to suit their requirement phase, reducing the cost and risk of concept development. PowerPhotonic prides itself on being able
to deliver prototypes in as little as eight weeks, with the capability of subsequently ramping up volume. It is also able to model ‘as manufactured’ surface metrology information, allowing engineers to predict the performance of their prototype before it even ships. While headquartered in the UK, the firm has additional manufacturing and engineering operations in the US, while also having an established and growing customer base in Europe, Japan and South Korea.

Vortex Optical Coatings | Photonex Booth: 116 Hinckley-based Vortex Optical Coatings was founded in 2008 by a small team with many years of experience in the photonics industry. The firm designs and manufactures custom optical filters, IR linear variable filters (LVFs) and beam- splitters from 200-6,000nm. It boasts a fast turnaround anti-reflection coating service, as well as a fast prototyping shop. Vortex’s IR filters are deposited by
sputtering using its own ‘Rockard’ technology, which ensures: highly durable coatings suitable for the toughest environments; extremely low temperature shift; reduced passband ripple for an even response; and high blocking efficiency to increase signal to noise ratio. Sputter deposition has a process energy approximately 3x that of thermal evaporation.
