Photonics is a pervasive technology finding new applications within the industrial sector all the time. Our cutting edge suppliers are providing new and disruptive technology solutions on an ongoing basis, so enabling our customers to quickly gain advantage and market share within their applications areas.
The potential for applications is infinite and as an example currently encompasses anything from fibre sensing to laser welding, as evidenced by the selection of applications opposite.
ELUXI's close working relationship with innovative suppliers and our insight of their product roadmaps enables us to develop new markets in partnership with our customers.
The UK and Ireland possess many top class research organisations and teams working at the forefront of science and engineering, across a broad range of areas and disciplines, utilising photonics based technologies.
ELUXI's own highly qualified team have many years experience in providing support and leading edge photonics product solutions. Over the years we have worked closely in support of many research specialists in Universities, research laboratories and establishments (both governmental and industrial) as well as research consultancies.
With an understanding of the requirements of the research sector, ELUXI is able to ensure a broad range of options and solutions.

The defence and aerospace sectors are large and varied and this is in part due to the fact that modern warfare has changed dramatically over the last fifty years. The distances at which engagements occur and the accuracies now involved have increased substantially in this time as has the reliance on technology to provide for advantage. This trend looks set to continue.
Applications using photonics based technologies within this sector is equally broad, with uses ranging from gyroscope guidance systems through to range finders and countermeasure devices.
However, it is also true that the key requirement namely that of delivering leading edge performance designed to work in the most demanding and harshest of environments over extended periods remains the same.
ELUXI’s team have many years experience understanding project needs and matching photonics requirements of defence and aerospace companies with the best product solutions.
This is achieved by working in close support of the project team from inception and preliminary design through to system integration, testing and final implementation. In this way we ensure the best possible performance and outcome.
Photonics in Medical Life-Sciences & Bio-Technology
Medical and bio-technology and applications continue to evolve at an ever increasing rate and the use of the latest photonics products whether for research, cosmetic procedures, diagnosis or therapy remain an important part in the mix of technologies available for use in the ongoing work to better understand and improve our health care.
Many of the applications that use lasers, fibres and optics are very familiar, however new areas are opening up fall the time, some examples of which are in the areas of OCT and fluorescence microscopy.
ELUXI works closely with suppliers and customers alike to be at the forefront of these new developments and technologies.

Photonics in Energy
The renewable energy sector in the form of solar, tidal, hydroelectric, geothermal, wind and biomass power is relatively new and quickly evolving. The need for fossil fuel alternatives will be with us for the foreseeable future as will the need for variety of photonics based technologies as the applications in this area continue to emerge.
The requirements for photonics products in the renewable energy sector are diverse. However, product longevity and reliability are critical across the board with site locations tending to be remote and inhospitable meaning that access is difficult and therefore costly.
With ELUXI's familiarity of the applications and needs we can ensure the provision of ideal product solutions to industry leaders and startups alike.

Photonics in Telecomms
Whilst the UK components based marketplace for telecomms is smaller than it once was, a number of active design and development centres remain, engaged in looking at the next generation of product platforms.
ELUXI's technically competent team services this sector with a range of quality components designed specifically for cost efficiency and high reliability which are the key drivers.
ATM ... CATV ... DWDM ... Gigabit Ethernet ... FTTx ... LAN – Metro ... Parallel Interconnects ... PON ... SONET/SDH ... Submarine ... WAN – Long Haul
The ELUXI team are proud to have been involved in supplying photonics solutions to a broad range of markets within the UK and Ireland over many years and are very familiar with the specialist needs within the main market sectors below. Even leading edge standard photonics products sometimes fall short of the ideal. The teams experience ensures that customers' key requirements can be quickly understood and assimilated in order that any modifications or new product introductions can be advocated and implemented in an efficient manner.
ELUXI's overall objective is the provision of cost effective, optimal photonics solutions meeting individual customer needs and where necessary providing continuing competitive advantage.
