  Photonic Packaging Quantum Integration Prototyping Semiconductor assembly Innovation

• Brief description of your expertise / expertise you are looking for:

  Bay Photonics offers advanced photonic packaging and integration expertise supporting the transition from quantum device concepts to manufacturable prototypes. We specialise in assembling, aligning, and encapsulating photonic and semiconductor components within hybrid and monolithic systems. Our capabilities include optical, mechanical, and thermal design; precision micro-assembly; and functional testing of photonic devices. Bay Photonics works across TRL 3–8, enabling partners to demonstrate scalable, stable, and repeatable performance of quantum photonic modules. We bring practical experience in supporting academic and industrial partners to translate research outcomes into pre-production demonstrators ready for system-level validation.

• Brief description of your project / the project you would like to join:

  Bay Photonics is particularly suited to join projects under the Applied Quantum Science theme that aim to convert laboratory-scale quantum devices into robust and manufacturable systems. The company specialises in photonic packaging and integration, providing optical, mechanical, and thermal design, precision micro-assembly, and functional testing of quantum photonic and semiconductor devices. Bay Photonics adds value to projects developing integrated quantum photonics, quantum communication systems, and quantum sensing or metrology platforms, where device miniaturisation, optical alignment, and environmental stability are critical. The company’s expertise supports the packaging of photonic sources, transducers, and detector assemblies, as well as hybrid quantum systems combining semiconductor and photonic elements. Operating across TRL 3–8, Bay Photonics bridges the gap between academic innovation and industrial deployment, helping partners translate quantum technologies into scalable, high-performance prototypes ready for field validation or pilot production. Through close collaboration, Bay Photonics enables consortia to de-risk packaging and integration challenges, accelerating the real-world impact of quantum technologies.
