Avo Photonics and AMS Technologies entered into a distribution agreement that entitles AMS Technologies to represent Avo’s capabilities to the European market.
Avo Photonics, founded in 2003 in Pennsylvania, provides advanced contract design, prototyping and manufacturing services for photonic customers in the military, aerospace, medical, communications and industrial markets.
Avo provides support from design thru production. Its design team acts as an extension to the customer’s existing development group and creates optical, mechanical, thermal, electrical and system engineering solutions while allowing the unique intellectual property generated to be owned by its customer.
In addition, within its facilities, Avo Photonics supports cost competitive production. Volumes can range from rapid prototypes to automated manufacturing of thousands per day. Avo’s demonstrated and field tested production capabilities include complex free-space optical assemblies, precision bonded die placement and fiber attach and low to megawatt class optical power laser systems.
All of the products made for its customers are internally tested for overall performance and ruggedness. Avo Photonics has the high fidelity tools and equipment to electrically drive and optically monitor the operation of products over various wavelengths, powers and modulation speeds. In addition, Avo can characterize this performance during or after exposure to environmental stress parameters using in-house temperature, humidity, pressure, vacuum, vibration and shock equipment.
