Academic spin-off and deep-tech startup developing photonic and optoelectronic systems for advanced sensing.
DISCOVER MORE →OptoEncase grew from the research experience of the Micro Nano Sensor Group at the Polytechnic University of Bari. The company was created to bring advanced photonic and optoelectronic expertise closer to real applications.
OptoEncase helps companies and R&D teams turn complex photonic and optoelectronic concepts into validated systems. We combine photonic integrated circuits, advanced electronics, embedded firmware, opto-mechanical packaging, and rigorous test methods to reduce integration risk and accelerate the path from requirements to functional prototypes and modules ready for industrial transfer across aerospace, biomedical, industrial, and scientific applications.
Our multidisciplinary, end-to-end approach spans requirements definition, system architecture, co-design, integration, testing, and pre-industrial validation.
We translate application needs into measurable requirements and a coherent photonic, electronic and mechanical architecture.
We design optical paths, PICs, readout electronics and control interfaces together, reducing integration risk from the start.
We assemble optical, electronic, firmware and opto-mechanical elements into functional demonstrators and custom prototypes.
We characterize performance, noise, drift and repeatability under relevant operating conditions.
System architecture, PIC and optical subsystem design, readout and control electronics, ASIC specifications, component selection, and interface definition.
Fiber-to-chip interfaces, optoelectronic assembly, packaging, and chassis design engineered for thermal stability, mechanical robustness, and repeatable performance.
Technology demonstrators and functional prototypes, performance characterization, noise and drift analysis, test procedures, reliability assessment, and pre-industrial validation.
Embedded firmware, real-time signal processing, multiphysics modeling, and methods to estimate and mitigate noise, drift, and system non-idealities.
