Covesion is delighted to announce that its parent company, Hawthorn Photonics, a global leader in non-linear optics, has acquired Radiantis, a renowned innovator in tunable laser systems and optical parametric oscillators (OPOs). Radiantis now joins the Hawthorn Photonics Group, alongside Covesion (UK) and AdvR Inc. (USA), marking a significant milestone in its mission to advance photonics technologies worldwide.

The three companies are unified by a shared commitment to delivering high-performance, next-generation photonics solutions. Radiantis’s strength in OPOs and tunable laser technologies extends the Group’s established leadership in wavelength conversion, modulation, and non-linear optical systems.

As a collective, we can now cater to a wide range of photonics applications including, quantum technologies, biophotonics and medical imaging, environmental monitoring, industrial processing and advanced scientific research.

The addition of Radiantis significantly broadens the overall product offering, which now includes:

  • Tunable laser systems for spectroscopy, imaging, and research.
  • Optical parametric oscillators delivering widely tunable, coherent light.
  • Non-linear crystals and waveguides for SHG, DFG, and other frequency conversion applications.
  • Phase modulators optimised for visible wavelengths.

This enhanced portfolio supports both off-the-shelf and bespoke solutions, ensuring exceptional performance and flexibility for diverse customer requirements.

Radiantis also brings a talented team of engineers and scientists whose integration will reinforce research and development efforts across the organisation, while contributing valuable expertise and fresh perspectives to accelerate innovation.

Mike Day, President of Hawthorn Photonics, commented:

“Radiantis’s technologies and team are a perfect fit with our vision. This move allows us to meet the growing global demand for innovative photonics systems with more capability than ever before.”

Sara Otero, CEO of Radiantis, added:

“This integration represents an extraordinary opportunity to accelerate our technological development and expand the impact of our solutions in the global market. We will continue to operate with the same team, the same passion, and the same commitment to our customers, now with the support of an international group that shares our values and ambitions.”

Customers of Covesion, AdvR, and Radiantis can expect a smooth integration, with uninterrupted access to trusted technologies, expert support, and the high-quality standards they rely on.
