8phototonics GmbH
8photonics GmbH provides a patented modular platform for rapid prototyping and assembly of next-generation laser systems and scientific instruments.
About
8photonics GmbH is a spin-off from the University of Bern with the mission to set a new standard for how laser setups are designed and assembled by laboratory professionals worldwide. The company offers an innovation platform based on a patented, modular set of building blocks that enables rapid prototyping of scientific instruments and next-generation laser systems. Their solutions are protected by US patent 11,002,930 and pending applications in various jurisdictions. 8photonics’s modular grid-kit concept allows users to configure flexible, customizable optical systems by combining electronic and passive modules (such as laser diode drivers, temperature control units, and fiber coiling modules) to meet a range of research and industrial requirements.
