Control firmware and software GUI

Custom photonic subsystems and mechanical modules

Overview

An essential part of the system you choose, will be our proprietary firmware to implement the control functions including TEC control, bias control, lock-in phase amplification, laser driver and we will develop bespoke software GUIs to allow you to control your chosen mix of functions. As with our hardware library, the firmware and GUIs will be rapidly constructed from our proprietary library of firmware and software GUI building blocks.

How it works

We combine our circuit-design library with dedicated mechanical, thermal and firmware engineering to deliver a fully custom subsystem or module, packaged to the customer’s environmental and integration requirements.

Benefits

01

Full design freedom where a standard form factor won’t do

02

Retains the speed advantage of starting from proven circuit designs, even in a custom housing

03

Single team delivers electronics, firmware, software, thermal and mechanical engineering together

Impact

This capability underpins our work on space communications subsystems and portable gas-sensing instrumentation, among other applications.

Through our European and UK R&D collaborations we have developed space-resilient transceiver modules and portable gas sensing systems. Please contact us to find out more.
