Modulight receives government funding

Optical component maker Modulight has received government funding to develop next-generation products for the telecom market.
Modulight, a manufacturer of high-performance optical components for telecommunications based in Tampere, Finland, has received government contracts for developing next-generation optical components for high performance telecommunication systems. Part of the funding comes from National Technology Agency of Finland (Tekes). Programs lasting 18 and 24 months have a total budget of about Euro 0.8 million ($0.78 million).

"We have a number of promising young companies in the field of optical communications, and Modulight certainly excels in MBE processing of high-end quality components," said Dr Knuuttila, Programme Manager of Tekes. "Tekes wishes to share the risks associated with Modulight s challenging projects, because we believe in the strong and inevitable growth of optical communications despite the recent global decline."

"We are very pleased to see that Tekes has decided to support our vision especially now that government funds are scarce," commented Petteri Uusimaa, president and CEO of Modulight. "The programs aim at supporting our long-term research plans and ease us to proceed faster towards new interesting applications for transmitter and receiver technologies."

Modulight is an ISO9001:2000-certified manufacturer of high-performance optical components, offering flexible high-performance products, advanced design capabilities and extensive production capacity.
