Advanced Photonix adds ISO 9001 certification for Picometrix

Picometrix LLC of Ann Arbor, MI, USA, a subsidiary of Advanced Photonix Inc (which designs and makes silicon, InP- and GaAs-based photodetectors, subsystems, and terahertz instrumentation), has achieved International Standards Organization (ISO) 9001 certification of its quality systems for the design, development, manufacturing and servicing of its portfolio of high-speed optical receivers and terahertz instrumentation.

Picometrix has been supplying high-speed optical receivers since 1992, when it spun out of the University of Michigan Center for Ultrafast Optical Science. As a result, both of Advanced Photonix’s locations - in Ann Arbor, MI and Camarillo, CA - are now ISO certified.

The ISO 9001:2008 standards specify requirements in documentation, procedures and operations for a quality management system. The standards apply uniformly to companies in any industry and of any size. Advanced Photonix says that, in achieving ISO certification, Picometrix has demonstrated its ability to consistently provide products that meet customer specification, satisfaction and applicable regulatory requirements.

“ISO registration supports our pursuit of continuous improvement and an on-going commitment to provide our customers assurance of product quality,” says Picometrix’s president & general manager Robin Risser.
