The Freedom Photonics Advantage

Today, the globalization of technology investment has significantly shortened the average technology life cycle, generating pressure for more efficient R&D and more rapid technology assimilation. At the same time, the nature of many advanced optical technologies has become increasingly complex. By utilizing a fabless business model, clients are able to reduce the risk of technology development and investment, retain a competitive edge in the global photonics market, and reduce costs. Freedom Photonics is able to allow clients to bridge the gap to product commercialization. Additionally, due to FP's nimble/small size we can offer a short cycle time. The Freedom Photonics team includes very experienced chip designers, who will assist in developing the solutions to meet your requirements. In addition, FP leverages our proximity to UCSB's world-class research and development infrastructure.
