NRC – Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre
The National Research Council’s Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre (CPFC) provides world-class engineering and manufacturing services, commercial-grade prototyping, and pilot-run production facilities. The CPFC fabricates devices in a variety of materials, offers single-step foundry services or end-to-end fabrication of photonic devices and circuits, and develops new process technologies for its client’s devices.
Located within the CPFC is the Advanced Technology Fabrication (ATF) research facility, which develops next-generation photonic and electronic components that are at low- to mid-technology readiness levels for a variety of applications: communication, security, and sensing. The facility serves as a test-bed for the fabrication proof of concept of novel designs, through to the development of new technology platforms.
