VIGO Photonics is a European manufacturer of epitaxial wafers and instruments for photonics and microelectronics, specialized in MWIR and LWIR detectors and modules, produced with the use of internally-developed technology. The mission of VIGO Photonics is to provide fast and convenient, easy to use IR detectors at any wavelength from 2 to 16 µm, reaching fundamental BLIP limits without cryocooling. Modules are available with different spectral response ranges, time response characteristics and gains. VIGO Photonics has a complete front–end and back-end production line for semiconductor high capacity instruments – from epitaxy of II-IV and III-V groups, through detector chips, and their assembly and integration with electronics. The company is constantly expanding its market reach and now has its subsidiaries in the USA.
SPACE INDUSTRY
Infrared detectors for space application
Several projects led by space agencies were built to expand our ability to observe many phenomena in space. Those projects are not limited only to the earth’s surface and earth’s atmosphere, which have a direct impact on human beings and the environment.
SECURITY AND DEFENSE
IR Detectors for Security and Defense Applications
The device will be designed to search places where an explosion, a gas or terrorist attack may occur. Next, the detection system will notify about possible risks or threats
TRANSPORTATION
Infrared Detectors for Railway Transport Safety
Safety is the most important aspect of railway transport. Nevertheless every year there are at least few serious accidents in rail traffic.
INDUSTRY
Infrared Detectors For Spectroscopy
A variety of spectroscopic techniques is used in gas analysis and sensing – increasingly important fields, crucial in atmosphere monitoring, emission control.
ENVIRONMENT
Environmental Protection
Polish products have already performed well at research centers monitoring the composition of atmosphere, on factory and power plant chimneys, or in unmanned weather balloons.
INDUSTRY
Industrial IR Sensor
The detectors are used for monitoring process gases in chemical, refining, power generation, food and aerosol production industries.
