  QFoundry is a £5.8M Innovate UK funded project running for 36 months and bringing together the UK\’s most established supply chains for quantum semiconductor components to address critical challenges in manufacturing and deliver a National (and World\’s first) open-access Quantum device foundry. Bay Photonics are providing key technology that will lead to the rapid […]

Bay Photonics are partner in the Innovate UK funded project \”Single Photon Infrared Imaging, Detection and Ranging\” (SPIDAR), that will develop novel range-finding and 3D imaging systems for driver assistance in the autonomous vehicles of the future. The cameras are based on detecting single photons (light particles) in the infra-red region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

Bay Photonics has joined forces with BT as well as high-tech Cambridge spin-out Nu-Quantum, Belfast-based Angoka, Bristol-based Duality Quantum Photonics and London-based Arqit, to combine multiple cutting-edge quantum technologies as part of a world’s-first trial of end-to-end quantum-secured communications for 5G and connected cars. Kicking-off on 1st August 2020 and funded by £7.7 million from

Bay Photonics are providing photonic packaging and fibre optic expertise in the Innovate UK SPLICE project led by Bristol-based start-up QLM in collaboration with oil and gas firm BP and the National Grid. During the course of the project, the team will develop quantum enabled gas sensors for detecting and visualising industrial leaks to prevent

  Bay Photonics are pleased to announce the expansion of our team, now based at EPIC, Paignton. Three new employees started over the last month: Dr Andrew Robertson joins us as Manger of Innovation and Research from his influencial role at Gooch & Housego. Geoff Dumas joins to complement the exceptional Senior Photonics Engineering team.

Innovative research into the development of a commercially viable, compact, ultra-stable laser source for next generation quantum applications is being undertaken by a consortium including Bay Photonics at their new facilities at the EPIC centre at White Rock Business Park, Paignton. The SIDEWINDER project will develop a component for quantum technology systems integrators requiring a

Bay Photonics has relocated its entire operation into the new Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre (EPIC) in Paignton. The company is one of the most reputable UK companies in the Photonics assembly and packaging sector, with a combined 280 years of experience in the industry. Since its launch in 2007, Bay Photonics (formerly Alpha Contract

Bay Photonics, specialists in Photonics device assembly and packaging, is to participate in an Innovate UK industry challenge fund quantum technology project to address the increased vulnerability to cyber-security threats brought about by quantum computing capabilities. The Agile Quantum Safe Communications (AQuaSec) project will develop technologies for “quantum-safe\” communications that will combine efficient implementations of

The “44th European Conference on Optical Communication\” will be held in Rome on 23rd to 26th September, with the first day being workshops and the remaining days being both conference and exhibition. ECOC is the leading European conference in the field of optical communication, and one of the most prestigious and long-standing events in this
