Systems

A system that finds light fast and automates characterization

Maple Leaf Photonics was started by photonic engineers who needed a precise, flexible way to test their own designs. Our probe stations automate the time-consuming repetitive tasks required for PiC testing. The platform scales from prototyping early concepts through qualifying hundreds of parts using our multi-die system. We have complete solutions for any product development stage. 

Single-Die Probe Station

The SD100 is perfect for characterizing hundreds of circuits on a single chip.

Modular by design​, customized by you.


PiC designs vary widely. Test needs do too. We designed our platform with flexibility in mind. The intelligent partitioning of various hardware components, their controls, and software allow users to customize systems for their unique needs or scale their existing probe station as new test needs emerge. 

Hardware

Alignment optics, fiber aligners, chip stages, and electrical probes can be mixed-and-matched for unique needs.

Hardware

Controllers

Modular controllers allow the addition of new components, capabilities, and features as needs emerge.

Controllers

Software

Our fotonica software controls instruments, orchestrates tests, and stands-alone (GUI) or integrates through an API

Apparently we had reached a great height in the atmosphere, for the sky was a dead black, and the stars had ceased to twinkle. By the same illusion which lifts the horizon of the sea to the level of the spectator on a hillside, the sable cloud beneath was dished out. and the stars had ceased to twinkle.
