SuperLight partners with Singapore-based distributor Precision Technologies
SuperLight Photonics of Enschede, the Netherlands — a spin-off from the University of Twente that is developing a photonic integrated circuit (PIC) wideband laser light source for measurement and detection applications — has partnered with Singapore-based photonics distributor Precision Technologies Pte Ltd.
The collaboration marks a step in strengthening SuperLight’s presence in the Southeast Asia region, ensuring better access to its laser and photonics technologies for customers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
As demand for next-generation photonics solutions continues to grow, the partnership aims to provide Singapore’s high-tech industries with direct access to SuperLight’s products. It will also facilitate tailored solutions and localized technical support to meet the evolving needs of Singapore’s key sectors such as precision manufacturing. SuperLight says that it addresses the need for laser technologies that require the unique combination of wide bandwidth, low noise and small form factor, enabling higher resolution, higher contrast and higher-throughput applications.
“We view SuperLight Photonics’ ultra-compact supercontinuum source as a significant advancement in integrated photonics solutions,” says Rick Tan, division sales director at Precision Technologies. “Its high spectral brightness, broad wavelength coverage and PIC-level scalability address critical demands in sensing, metrology and imaging that match perfectly to Southeast Asia’s growing demand,” he adds.
“Singapore is a dynamic hub for technology and innovation, making it a key market for our expansion,” notes SuperLight’s chief commercial officer Jeroen Biesterbos. “Partnering with Precision Technologies allows us to provide local expertise and enhanced support to our customers, reinforcing our commitment to delivering high-performance PIC solutions worldwide.”
With Precision Technologies’ established network and industry expertise, SuperLight will be able to offer its laser technologies to a wider range of industries, including semiconductor manufacturing and ultra-precise material processing, advanced metrology, (bio-) medical applications, and scientific research.
