Making optical modules smaller and cost-effective
SPIO Systems is the leading OEM supplier of compact, robust, mass-producible optical modules and chips as alternatives to traditional frame-based instruments.
SPIO Systems is the leading OEM supplier of compact, robust, mass-producible optical modules and chips as alternatives to traditional frame-based instruments.
“We are driven by curiosity, precision, and a technological vision: to broaden the scope of optical sensing with micro optics and polymer photonics just as the electronic chip transformed the world starting in the 1960s.”
Traditional optical systems rely on manual assembly into physical frames - bulky, expensive, and hard to scale. We replace them with wafer-based production of micro-optical modules and chips: miniature, frameless photonics modules in volume production.
Our technology isn’t just smaller - it’s smarter, more affordable, and more accessible. It opens the door to new applications and customer segments previously excluded from advanced optics.
SPIO Systems is a niche supplier with a clear mission: to contribute to the optical chip revolution - just as the electronic chip transformed the world starting in the 1960s.
Our micro optics and micro-spectrometers integrate into products where traditional optics are too large, too expensive, or too fragile - opening entirely new markets.
Precision optical sensing embedded directly in farming instruments for soil analysis, crop monitoring, and yield optimization.
Miniaturized diagnostic and therapeutic instruments - enabling new form factors for point-of-care, implantable, and minimally invasive tools.
Compact optical modules for health monitoring, biosensing, and AR/VR applications in wearable technology.
Integrated optical modules for smartphones and consumer electronics - delivering advanced sensing in an ultra-thin footprint.
We support you at every stage of micro optics and polymer photonics development - from initial concept through prototyping to full-scale volume production.
Supporting customers with optical redesign and new application design tailored to your specifications.
Get to market quickly with rapid feasibility assessments and small-batch test series.
Scale your product with automated fabrication, type approvals, reliability testing, quality control, and packaging.
SPIO - Stacked Planar Integrated Optics - is a polymer photonics production technology that enables volume production of micro optics, micro-spectrometers, and other small-size optical modules with photonic component integration.
Using nanoimprint lithography and a roll-to-plate approach, we print micro optics in polymer on glass wafers, then align and stack them to micrometer precision. The result: fully passive optical chips measuring only a few millimeters.
