The company's proprietary photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers (PCSELs) offer a breakthrough in semiconductor laser technology, providing advantages such as low cost, high speed, and power. PCSELs emit light from the top surface, making them easy to package and incorporate into electronic assemblies. This technology is poised to benefit industries in data communications and additive manufacturing, including metal and plastic printing. Vector Photonics was founded in 2020 and is based in Glasgow, U.K.
