Genia Photonics Inc., a high technology company specializing in
fiber-laser-based systems, announced a strategic partnership and technology
development agreement with In-Q-Tel (IQT), the
non-profit, strategic investment firm
that delivers innovative technology solutions to support the missions of the U.S. Intelligence
Community.
“Our partnership with Genia Photonics will build
on the company’s success in the commercial market,” says Simon Davidson, partner
on IQT’s Investments team. “Genia Photonics’ fiber-based technology will lead
to unique possibilities for our customers in the U.S. Intelligence Community.” The technology is being developed for the Department of Homeland Security Science and
Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), an IQT customer agency.
This strategic partnership between Genia Photonics and IQT will
promote Genia’s fiber-based laser technology development to a higher level and
provide new opportunities for Genia’s product applications. “Genia Photonics’ mission is to provide solutions that benefit society and improve quality of life,” says François Gonthier, CEO of Genia Photonics. “Our partnership with IQT
will create new opportunities for leveraging Genia’s versatile and multifunctional fiber-based technologies
into related applications.”
In addition to the value for the defense
and security communities, Genia Photonics’ Synchronized Programmable Laser platform has applications such as
non-linear spectroscopy for the
biomedical and industrial communities. An important benefit of Genia Photonics’ implementation as compared to
existing solutions is that the entire synchronized laser system is comprised in a single, robust, and
alignment-free unit that may be easily transported for use in many environments.
