Vigo Photonics
Who are we?
VIGO Photonics is a leading European manufacturer of epitaxial wafers and instruments for photonics and microelectronics. Our company was founded in 1987, but our history begins as early as 1970 when HOT IR detector technology was created by the team led by Joseph Piotrowski, PhD, DSc. Over the years, we have grown and changed just like the technologies we use today because progress is written into our DNA.
For nearly four decades, VIGO products have been designed and manufactured in-house, using unique proprietary technology. The VIGO Photonics portfolio includes epi-wafers, infrared detectors, and infrared detection modules, all characterized by excellent parameters and high uniformity. A key strength of the company is its ability to combine research and development in IR technology with manufacturing activities, ensuring close collaboration with customers to meet their needs.
