Kaleido Technology

Kaleido Technology is a manufacturer of OEM discrete and integrated micro-optical components and sub-systems for applications in telecom, sensor and material processing. Two major problems have persistently haunted optical manufacturing over the last decade or so. The first problem is the lack of automation that characterizes manufacturing of optical components. The second problem is to realize components that will meet the often very strict requirements in terms of stability towards temperature, humidity and chemical conditions. Kaleido's approach is a technology that will solve both of these problems leading to cost-effective manufacturing of rugged and stable components and sub-modules. Kaleido's technology is build from three key ingredients: · manufacturing of complex-shaped optics and replications masters by diamond-machining and precision grinding · wafer-based precision molding of optical glasses, · wafer-scale integration for production automation.
