Why choose nonlinear optics?

Towards new manufacturing standards

The rise of AI, quantum computing, and 6G relies on a new generation of advanced materials that requires more stringent quality control than ever before.

At NLOPTICS, we are responding to this challenge with a nonlinear optical based technology that can reveal defects invisible to conventional methods, and support the industrialization of these strategic materials.

      • Non-destructive and contactless : no alteration of samples, suitable for industrial processes in all circumstances.
      • Compatibility with advanced materials : LiNbO3, GaN, HfO2, SiC, AlN, SiO2, InP, GaAs, Al2O3, diamond, glass, metals, and more.
      • Direct access to functional properties : residual charges, degree of anisotropy, layer deposition homogeneity, crystal orientation.
      • Surface and thin film analysis : can detect nanometer-thick depositions, ideal for critical interfaces and contaminant detection.
      • Revealing the invisible : highlights defects, anomalies, and inhomogeneities that conventional optical methods cannot detect.
      • Supporting innovation : accelerates the integration of next-generation materials in photonics and semiconductors.

« Oxides are finding increasing applications in the field of integrated photonic circuits and sensors. Second harmonic generation is one of the methods to be investigated due to its intrinsic response to second-order nonlinearities. »

Jacques Cochard – TEMATYS

« Lithium niobate has gained importance due to its strong electro-optical effects, high refractive index, and extended transparency window, making it particularly suitable for nonlinear optical applications. »

Mordor Intelligence 

« Current analysis methods have certain limitations in terms of cost, accessibility, and adaptability, strongly encouraging manufacturers to seek more effective and innovative alternatives. »
