Quantum Technology
The development of quantum technology has the potential to deliver orders of magnitude improvement in the performance of applications including sensing, communication, computing and timing. Based upon many-particle quantum superposition and entanglement in large engineered systems many of these technologies rely on high performance light sources to drive the technology. Covesion PPLN solutions are a key enabler for the wavelength conversion used in such light sources.
Lasers & Scientific Instrumentation
We work with partners worldwide to integrate our crystals and waveguides into a range of scientific instrumentation. For OEM products you can discuss your desired specification with our engineering team to facilitate the design of a custom item. We also have a wide selection of readily available stock items for use as off-the-shelf components in your system.
Environmental, Medical and Life Science
We design and manufacture PPLN solutions that can be used in many spectroscopic or environmental science applications. These include narrow-linewidth laser sources for gas spectroscopy or picosecond and femtosecond ultrafast laser sources for specific wavelengths in fluorescence spectroscopy. Our solutions are already successfully integrated into a number of existing systems enabling future research and development into novel applications.
Aerospace and Defence
Whether you are researching a novel innovation or developing systems for deployment, our team provides product advice and application support. We have worked in a diverse number of applications including countermeasure systems, communications (earth to satellite and ground based), LIDAR, and a range of other sensing devices. We can be your partner of choice when developing the next generation technology.
Research
We enable you to develop innovative experimental and practical applications. Our team can discuss your requirements and advise on the right solution utilising their unrivalled capabilities for engineering PPLN. This means we can assist with many wavelengths that are applicable to a wide range of pump powers, whether your source is pulsed or CW.

“
As Covesion’s products are so well documented, we were able to easily select the waveguide we needed and discussions with Covesion’s team were helpful and clear. The product works well and is used regularly by the team here at IDQ.

“
One of the main reasons we purchased PPLN products from Covesion is that they provided all the information we needed for understanding the crystal, and the sales team at Covesion made the purchase and the subsequent use of the product very simple. The company stands out because their poling technique is so good.

The customer service from Covesion has always been excellent. We have a great rapport with Corin (ProfessorCorin Gawith, CTO, Covesion) and the team, and their knowledge is invaluable. I have had occasion to use Covesion crystals twice during my research at The University of Glasgow and the turnaround for the custom products was very quick, meaning the research could continue without delay.
Specifically with regards to our area of interest, the PPLN crystals are periodically poled, and the period of poling needs to be optimised to ensure the best performance of the source, enhancing the efficiency of the generation. Covesion gave us various options rather than just one specific period for the poling. For example, in one of the devices there were different groups of poling periods and that allowed us to optimise for best performance and find the configuration that worked the best.

“
Compared to some other nonlinear mediums, Covesion’s PPLN product provides much higher nonlinear coefficient and good optical qualities that are suitable for high power laser applications.
Covesion has good reputation in the community, they provide good quality products as well as excellent technical support for the materials and technologies used in our laser system. They offer a range of standard in-stock products, together with providing bespoke products and customised services.
