C2V offers OEM design, development, and production of integrated optics components. The design and simulation is done in house, using our own professional software package OlympIOs. For manufacturing & production transfer, yield optimization and high volume production we cooperate with several other medium and high volume wafer fabs. C2V is ISO9001 qualified for design, development and manufacturing of microsystems. Additionally, we work with partners for packaging & assembly in order to integrate all constraints at the design level (integrated system approach, resulting in Seamless Microsystem Engineering).

C2V offers these design services for professionals in the telecommunications and optical sensors applications. During many years, C2V has built-up experience with several bluechip customers, such as Alcatel and Avanex, for improving the performance and yield of a range of planar waveguide based components.

The C2V integrated optic design team has particular experience in the design and optimization of the following components:

• Arrayed Waveguide Gratings in many "flavors" (50,100,200 GHZ; Gaussian &amp flat top).
• Thermo Optical Switches ( MZI &amp DOS )
• Low-loss Splitters and Combiners
• Variable Optical Attenuators (VOA)
• Power taps
• Spot size transformers
• Hybrid integrated components (e.g. planar waveguide &amp MEMS)
• Planar waveguide sensors

• Design for Manufacturing
• Working around IP &amp creating new patents
• Stress birefringence management
• Evolutionary design methods
