VIGO Photonics at Laser World of Photonics
29 May 2025

VIGO Photonics, a leading manufacturer of high-performance infrared detectors and detection modules, will participate in Laser World of Photonics 2025.
The event will be held from June 24 to 27 at the Munich Trade Fair Center, Munich, Germany. VIGO Photonics’ solutions will be showcased within the Polish Pavilion, at booth A2.640.
Laser World of Photonics is the world’s leading trade fair for photonics components, systems, and applications. Held biennially in Munich, the event brings together thousands of professionals and technology leaders to showcase cutting-edge innovations across laser technology, optics, sensing, imaging, and more.
Products and solutions which we will showcase at our booth
VIGO Photonics will present its latest technologies designed for industrial, scientific, and defense applications. At the booth visitors will find:
Epiwafers - high quality III-V epitaxial structures for use in sophisticated electronics such as lasers, photodetectors, transistors, photovoltaic cells and other devices.
Standard offer - Infrared Detectors based on HgCdTe material that offer the highest performance out of all discovered materials suitable for Infrared detection and Detection Modules (infrared detectors integrated with electronics) characterized by high sensitivity in a wide spectral range from 1 to 16 μm, high speed in frequency bands up to 1 GHz, optimized amplification of the measured signal and operating temperatures in the range from 200 to 300 K.
New products - to be showcased for the first time during Laser World of Photonics 2025:
1. AM03461-01 Digital IR Detection Module - made from RoHS-compliant III-V material, operates in the 2.0 to 5.6 µm spectral range and features a 1 mm active area with analog bandwidth up to 1 MHz and 24-bit digital resolution at 150 kSps. It includes an integrated programmable gain amplifier (0.33x to 64x), runs on a low 2.7–3.6 V supply, and offers seamless integration via a 20 MHz SPI interface within a 10 mm × 10 mm footprint compatible with the THORLABS 16 mm cage system.
2.32MM-5 IR Detection Module - operates across a broad spectral range of 1.7 to 5.7 µm with a typical frequency bandwidth from 1 Hz to 1 MHz. Featuring 0.1 mm × 0.1 mm back-side illuminated elements with low crosstalk and 0.15 mm pitch, it supports high-temperature environments, integrates a TEC controller, and enables cryogenic-free operation with the use of an external heatsink.
Lately developed products - which were already presented during Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco:
1.InGaAs Infrared Detectors (1 mm, 3 mm, and 5 mm active area diameters) provide large active area, and long-term stability and reliability, making them ideal for gas detection, monitoring, laser technologies and telecommunication
2. ASIC Detection Module Series offers programmable gain and ASIC-type electronics, ensuring versatility for applications such as LIDAR, laser range finders, medical diagnostics, and non-destructive material testing.
3. LN2 Infrared Detector Series, optimized for operation at 77 K, is specifically designed for FTIR spectroscopy.
4. SMD Infrared Detector Series for Gas Analysis provides an affordable and high-performance solution for detecting CH₄, C₂H₆, and CO₂, making it a valuable tool for environmental monitoring and industrial safety.
5. AMIS8140-01 Detection Module features a spectral range of 1.9 to 11 µm, an optical immersion lens, and built-in temperature control, making it an ideal solution for gas detectors, temperature sensors, embedded systems, and portable devices.
Save the date for the CLEO conference
Laser World of Photonics will be held in conjunction with the CLEO/Europe conference. One of the presentations will be titled “Pioneering a New Generic Platform – Unlocking the Potential of Mid-IR Photonic Integrated Circuits” delivered by Ryszard Piramidowicz, PIC Program Director at VIGO Photonics. The presentation is scheduled for June 27, 2025, at 11:45 AM in CM-Room 14b.
The presentation will introduce the MIRPIC platform—developed in collaboration with leading research institutions—which is laying the foundation for the world’s first mid-IR PIC foundry. This talk will also examine how Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) are revolutionizing industries such as IoT, automotive, and digital health. Furthermore, it will highlight how expanding into the mid-infrared (mid-IR) spectral range is opening up new opportunities for next-generation sensors.
Whether you're looking for advanced sensing solutions, want to learn more about the HyperPIC project, or just explore partnership opportunities, we invite you to connect with us in Munich.
