SuperLight Photonics partners with Precision Technologies to expand into Southeast Asia

SuperLight Photonics, a Dutch provider of photonic integrated circuit (PIC)-based laser technology, has partnered with Precision Technologies, a photonics distributor in Singapore. This collaboration aims to enhance access to SuperLight's advanced laser solutions across Southeast Asia, including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand.​

Founded as a spin-off from the University of Twente, SuperLight Photonics is based in Enschede, the Netherlands. The company focuses on developing high-performance laser technologies, including supercontinuum, ultrafast, and frequency comb lasers.

The company specialises in ultra-compact supercontinuum lasers that offer wide bandwidth, low noise, and small form factors. These attributes are crucial for applications in precision manufacturing, biomedical imaging, and advanced metrology. The partnership with Precision Technologies is designed to meet the growing demand for high-performance photonic solutions in these sectors.​

Rick Tan, Division Sales Director at Precision Technologies, highlighted the significance of SuperLight's ultra-compact supercontinuum source:

“At Precision Technologies, we view SuperLight Photonics’ ultra compact supercontinuum source as a significant advancement in integrated photonics solutions. 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.

"We are excited to collaborate closely in driving this tremendous innovation growth potential that enables next generation applications, and to achieve shared success in the evolving photonics landscape.”

This partnership is part of SuperLight Photonics' broader strategy to strengthen its position in the Asia-Pacific region. Earlier initiatives included a collaboration with KLV in Japan, aiming to integrate SuperLight's solutions into the Japanese market. These efforts underscore the company's commitment to providing localised support and tailored solutions to meet the specific requirements of various markets.​
