What Integrated Optics does

Integrated Optics, UAB is a Vilnius, Lithuania-based designer and manufacturer of ultra-compact laser sources for scientific and industrial OEMs, founded in 2012 by Evaldas Pabrėža (CEO) and Jonas Jonuška (CTO). The company applies its proprietary Printed Optical Circuit Board (POCB™) micro-optics assembly method — leveraging robotics and custom software — to produce diode, DPSS, and multi-wavelength laser modules in cavity formats as small as 30×50×18 mm³. Since incorporation, the company reports 7,000+ lasers shipped to customers in more than 25 countries, with 50% of products sold into Germany and growing share of revenue from the United States and United Kingdom. Facilities include the Vilnius headquarters (moved in 2025 to a 2,000 sq. m. site on Trinapolio str.) and a 2024 manufacturing branch in Klaipėda, Lithuania, plus a wholly-owned sales subsidiary, IO Integrated Optics GmbH, in Landsberg am Lech, Germany.

The product portfolio centers on the MatchBox platform — a family of CW lasers (375–1550 nm, up to 3,000 mW), multi-wavelength combiners (up to 4 channels), nanosecond Q-switch pulsed lasers (peak power up to 70 kW), and tunable lasers — all sharing a unified 50×30 mm² mechanical footprint, single UART/USB/RS232 control interface, and +5 VDC input. The platform offers >200 configurations, integrates TEC cooling and automatic power control, and is rated for >80 G shock. Sub-brands uFlash (compact Q-switch micro-lasers targeting LiDAR and portable LIBS) and ARA (configurable multi-wavelength combiners) extend the same underlying architecture into additional form factors. In June 2025, a MatchBox 405 nm SLM laser became the first to operate in LEO aboard SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter-14 as part of the University of Vienna quantum computing experiment. Technical validations include <1% RMS stability over 24 hours, >50 dB SMSR, and <10 pm wavelength stability across 15–35 °C.

Revenue derives from a mix of one-time laser hardware sales, recurring rentals priced at 10% of laser price per month across 40+ models, and professional services covering custom development, optical design, and laser characterization. Distribution combines direct sales through the website and OEM channels with a global network of exclusive and non-exclusive distributors covering 18+ countries, supplemented by the German subsidiary for DACH. End-customer verticals span spectroscopy (Raman, fluorescence, LIBS), microscopy (confocal, super-resolution, light-sheet), quantum technologies (cryptography, QKD, magnetometry), and LiDAR (atmospheric, flash, rangefinding). Visible named customers include WITec (Raman imaging microscopes), TU Darmstadt (quantum research), IPHT (spectroscopy), Vilnius University (fluorescence microscopy), Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, Droplet Genomics, and GIANT labs. Public venture funding is modest at roughly €3M cumulative across Business Angels Fund rounds in 2014 and 2020, supplemented by EU project grants (e.g., €0.7M for QUADERA) and ESA contracts (€0.6M for miniaturized quantum sources).

Core offering

Integrated Optics manufactures ultra-compact laser sources built around its proprietary MatchBox platform, a unified-footprint family of CW, multi-wavelength, Q-switched nanosecond pulsed, and tunable lasers. Products are assembled using the company's patented POCB™ (Printed Optical Circuit Board) micro-optics method and are sold to OEM system integrators and research customers in spectroscopy, microscopy, quantum technologies, LiDAR, particle sorting, and similar photonic applications.

Product overview

Integrated Optics is an ISO 9001:2015-certified designer and manufacturer of ultra-compact laser sources built around its proprietary MatchBox platform. The core MatchBox Series unifies CW lasers (single-wavelength diode and DPSS from 375 nm to 1550 nm, up to 3000 mW), Wavelength Combiners (2–4 channel multi-color lasers in the world's smallest 30×50×18 mm³ footprint), Pulsed/Nanosecond Q-Switch Lasers, and Tunable Lasers — all sharing a unified 50×30 mm² mechanical footprint, single UART/USB/RS232 control interface, and +5 VDC power input. Two sub-brands extend the portfolio: the uFlash Series (ultra-compact Q-switch micro lasers for OEM LiDAR and LIBS) and the ARA Series (configurable multi-wavelength combiners). A full ecosystem of accessories (heatsinks, power supplies, control interfaces, safety goggles) and services (laser rentals, custom development, optical design) supports the product family. The company also recently achieved space qualification for its MatchBox 405 nm SLM laser.
