Covesion Ltd.

Covesion are world leaders in the research, development and manufacture of MgO:PPLN crystals and waveguides for highly efficient, non-linear frequency conversion. Since being established in 2009, we have been supporting the photonics industry by offering insight and guidance on the design of systems for generating visible and IR light.

From our manufacturing base in Southampton in the U.K., our optoelectronic engineers, product development specialists and research scientists here at Covesion are committed to ongoing innovation in the field of photonics. Handpicked from academia and industry, our rapidly expanding team work in close collaboration with our customers and industry partners to ensure that we continually design and manufacture world leading PPLN technologies.

Recently launched into our extensive portfolio of waveguides, our Fibre-coupled (input and output) component waveguide for Second Harmonic Generation (SHG) of C-Band Frequencies is designed for both OEMs and Researchers. The novel waveguide provides reliable output power from a few mW’s up to 1W in a compact package with external fiber coupling.

Covesion has developed the world’s first ruggedized, frequency doubling module for 1560 to 780nm conversion, generating over 1W output power, to drive Rb-based quantum technologies and demonstrated operation of the module within a Rb-MOT for Quantum applications. Waveguide packaging has been tested under ‘harsh’ environmental conditions, including temperature, shock, vibration, radiation. All the test results show that Covesion has a route to offer space-qualified waveguide based on recent launched waveguide component, which has wider use in applications requiring remote, autonomous operation in harsh environments, like mobile earth-based sensing, drone operation.
