Located in Paris and Marseille, Tematys specializes in bridging the gap between photonics-enabled technologies and emerging industrial applications. The new partnership will see Tematys align the technological sourcing requirements for organisations based in France, with the technical capabilities of Chromacity’s ultrafast lasers.

The collaboration between Chromacity and Tematys will facilitate the adoption of ultrafast lasers by industrial organizations seeking to develop new technologies which can accelerate innovation within life sciences, manufacturing and environmental sustainability.

Chromacity manufactures lasers for academic researchers and industrial applications worldwide. The Edinburgh-based firm has developed a new generation of affordable ultrafast lasers that are reliable and simple to use compared with legacy systems, which can be expensive and complex to operate.

Shahida Imani, CEO of Chromacity, said: “Our focus is shifting towards the industrial applications of our ultrafast lasers. Given their technical expertise, track record, and an extensive industrial network in France, Tematys is the perfect partner in this key territory.”

Dr Dominique Bonnisseau, associate – partner, business development and operational sales at Tematys said: “We are delighted to develop opportunities for Chromacity’s lasers in France. Ultrafast lasers and OPO technology are very promising for environmental and industrial applications, as well as biotech and medical imaging.”

Scottish Development International (SDI) helped facilitate the partnership between Chromacity and Tematys. SDI has also assisted Chromacity with market entry strategies through its trade specialists operating in Europe, and recently supported the laser firm in its efforts to access key photonics networks in Asia.
