About Vanguard Automation
The company develops process technology and software-defined manufacturing equipment for photonic integration and packaging. Building on advanced nano-printing technology, VA solutions complement planar photonic integrated circuits (PIC) by 3D freeform structures such as Photonic Wire Bonds and Micro-Optical Lenses. This technology is key to chiplet-based photonic systems that offer high packaging density and increased design flexibility, while being amenable to automated high-volume fabrication.
The technology has been researched at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) for almost one decade.
