The Israel Center for Advanced Photonics ("ICAP") provides facilities for R&D projects in the fields of semiconductor technology and specialty optical fibers. The center constitutes a pivotal platform for the development of advanced technologies in the fields of lasers, semiconductors devices and optical fibers. These core technologies are critical for competing effectively in the fields of 3D printing, data centers, telecommunications, displays, renewable energies, and many others. The concept as implemented for the first time in Israel is based on the success of similar centers all over the world. ICAP offers a state of the art development service to its customers based on professional teams working closely with their associates in leading academic institutions both in Israel and overseas. A strict quality management policy will guarantee predictability and results repeatability, key parameters for effective transfer of R&D to Industry. ICAP initiated its first activities in November 2016, which include design and fabrication of fiber components and Bragg gratings. We invite potential clients to contact us now to discuss pilot projects. Additional facilities have been and will be added during 2017 and 2018.
