Optoscribe was founded in 2010 as a spin off business from Heriot Watt University, and has developed 3D photonic components for use inside communications systems in the data communications, telecommunications and mobile phone markets. The technology enables Optoscribe to produce high-performance products that connect optical fibers with arrays of emitters or receivers where space is limited and high-bandwidth connectivity is essential.
