Pavilion Integration Corporation

What Pavilion Integration Corporation does

Pavilion Integration Corporation (PIC) is a privately held Delaware corporation founded in 2003 that designs and manufactures photonic components and subsystems for biomedical instrumentation OEMs and industrial sensing equipment makers. The company's portfolio spans free-space and fiber-coupled solid-state laser modules (WhisperIT family), solid-state SiPM and APD detectors (WhisperIT Comet), pre-aligned multi-laser integrated engines (Lapis, Shiva), and application-specific optical engines (BASOE). The technical foundation rests on two proprietary platforms: WhisperIT, which delivers mode-hop free, low-noise, low-speckle operation with back-reflection protection; and PICel, an optically-pumped VECSEL architecture claimed as the first compact OEM-packaged commercialization of that technology, enabling wavelength coverage from 488nm to 1200nm including green-yellow gaps where direct diodes cannot reach. PIC holds ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and GMP certifications relevant to medical device manufacturing.

PIC operates under a self-described "ODM west, OEM east, CM" business model, combining design services, contract manufacturing, and OEM module supply to provide design-for-manufacturability support alongside finished modules. Revenue is generated through quote-based hardware sales of laser modules, detectors, and integrated engines to OEM customers with multi-year design-in cycles, supplemented by custom design and contract manufacturing services. Customers span flow cytometry, DNA sequencing, confocal and super-resolution microscopy, spatial genomics, ophthalmology, light-sheet fluorescence microscopy, Raman spectrometry, and food/material sorting OEMs. Distribution is direct enterprise sales in North America and Europe, with manufacturing in Suzhou, China. The only publicly named end customer is NASA/Canadian Space Agency, whose Microflow cytometer using PIC's Lapis dual-fiber-coupled module operated aboard the International Space Station. PIC reports a cumulative 100,000 laser modules shipped over its 20-year history and recently expanded its Reno, Nevada corporate headquarters and US manufacturing center.

Core offering

Pavilion Integration Corporation designs and manufactures solid-state laser modules, solid-state detectors (SiPM/APD-based), and integrated multi-laser photonic subsystems spanning UV, Visible and IR wavelengths. Its product families — WhisperIT, WhisperIT Comet, Lapis, Shiva, BASOE, Brightlight, Argonaut and PICel — are sold to biomedical instrumentation and industrial sensing OEMs as drop-in or custom-engineered optical sources that replace legacy DPSS, HeCd, HeNe, Argon-ion and PMT modules.

Product overview

Pavilion Integration Corporation (PIC) offers a comprehensive portfolio of photonic products organized into three main categories: laser modules, solid-state detectors, and integrated optical engines. The WhisperIT family includes multiple form factors of free-space and fiber-coupled continuous-wave solid-state lasers utilizing proprietary WhisperIT technology for ultra-low noise, mode-hop free operation. The WhisperIT Comet series provides SiPM-based solid-state detectors. The Lapis integrated engines combine multiple lasers with advanced optical plates. The Shiva optical plates offer pre-aligned multi-color platforms. The BASOE platform provides custom biomedical application-specific optical engines. PICel's VECSEL technology enables extended wavelength coverage including green/yellow wavelengths. Products serve biomedical instrumentation applications including flow cytometry, ophthalmology, DNA sequencing, confocal microscopy, spatial genomics, and light-sheet fluorescence microscopy.
