How we support you
From research idea to tested photonic prototype
Feasibility & Design
Explore the technical assumptions behind a new research concept before fabrication. Bright Photonics helps research teams define system requirements, evaluate technology platforms and identify risks, connecting scientific ambition with a practical PIC development plan.
Nazca Design & Cloud
Build layouts, simulate circuits and validate designs in a connected photonic design environment. Nazca Design provides an open-source framework for research and education, while Nazca Cloud adds access to PDKs, compact models and advanced validation functionality.
Testing & Validation
Support research prototypes with PIC design expertise and independent optical characterisation of chips or wafers. Measurement data helps teams evaluate design assumptions, refine subsequent iterations and connect simulation with practical experimental results.
