VIGO Photonics Information

VIGO Photonics is a European manufacturer of semiconducting materials and instruments for photonic and microelectronic, specialized in MWIR and LWIR detectors and modules, produced with the use of internally-developed technology. The company is constantly expanding its market reach and has its subsidiary in the USA. In March 2026 company has successfully acquired the assets of InfraRed Associates, marking a major step in the company’s global expansion strategy. The move significantly strengthens VIGO’s footprint in the United States and enhances its ability to serve the defense and high-tech sectors. The mission of VIGO Photonics is to provide fast and convenient, easy to use IR detectors at any wavelength from 2 to 16 µm, reaching fundamental BLIP limits without cryocooling. Modules are available with different spectral response ranges, time response characteristics and gains. VIGO Photonics has a complete front – end and back- end production line for semiconductor high capacity instruments – from epitaxy of II-IV and III-V groups, through detector chips, lasers and their assembly and integration with electronics.
