What Lumoscribe does
Lumoscribe Ltd. is a privately held deep-tech photonics SME founded in 2018 by Dr. Antreas Theodosiou and headquartered in Geroskipou, Paphos, Cyprus. The company develops fiber-optic sensors, fiber lasers, and integrated optical systems, with core technical capabilities in fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), specialty fiber sensors, femtosecond laser inscription, and photonic signal processing. Its product portfolio spans three families: (1) fiber lasers including the Jasper X0 high-power femtosecond laser (1030 nm, up to 60 W), the MFL-3500 mid-IR laser (3.5 μm, up to 1 W), and the TFL2000 2 μm band laser; (2) FBG-based point sensors for strain, temperature, acceleration and cryogenic applications (T210-11, T212-13, T220, T320, T820), several ATEX/CE/RoHS/REACH compliant; and (3) optoelectronic instruments including the DTS LS-X distributed temperature sensing system and FSI MX-Series interrogators. Underlying the portfolio is a patented femtosecond laser inscription process for monolithic all-fiber laser architectures and a portfolio of granted patents covering inscription, pumping and transducer designs.
The company operates a hybrid revenue model: direct product sales of sensors, lasers and instruments to enterprise customers via quote-based pricing; collaborative R&D participation in EU and Cypriot funded consortia (projects include LUMiOS, ACOReS, LightSense, WSOF, BioSTRUCT, HydrOTEC, InFLOW, POLYMEROSCOPY); and photonics consulting to commercialize concepts developed in academic settings. Customers and end-users span manufacturing, infrastructure and civil engineering, healthcare and biomedical, energy and environment, aerospace, and industrial automation, with delivery primarily through direct sales and project-based collaboration. The firm operates a dedicated R&D and manufacturing facility (since 2022) and runs the Photonics Research Center (PRC), the first specialized photonics research center in Cyprus, as a partnership and consortium hub.
