NKT Photonics and RISE Acreo have collaborated on the development of silica glass for fiber lasers for more than a decade. This glass is a key component in the high performance optical fibers and fiber lasers.
This partnership is strengthened as NKT Photonics opens a Swedish subsidiary in Hudiksvall, investing in infrastructure and expertise that will bring the development and production of new and better silica glass to the next level.
“NKT Photonics is a leader in their field, and to have this high-tech company investing in Sweden is an excellent opportunity for RISE Acreo, for the Fiber Optic Valley cluster, and for Swedish photonics,” said Åsa Claesson, manager of RISE Acreo’s fiber optics lab in Hudiksvall.
“In our many years of collaboration, Acreo has always delivered high quality, and their vast knowledge within optical materials has been key to our development of high performance optical fibers,” added Thomas Tanggaard Alkeskjold, director of R&D at NKT Photonics.
The facility opens officially in April 2018 and two engineers and scientists from Acreo will join NKT Photonics.
