YOUR CLEANROOM

FOR THE

PHOTONICS INDUSTRY

Why Are Cleanrooms Essential in Photonics?

The rapid expansion of fiber optic networks in our daily lives has brought new attention to the photonics industry and its surrounding ecosystem.

Companies specializing in photonics are at the forefront of innovation, developing cutting-edge technologies that drive digital transformation, optical communications, medical devices, and industrial applications.

In France alone, the sector directly employs over 80,000 people, primarily within SMEs. The manufacturing and assembly environments for lasers, LEDs, optical modulators, photonic crystals, and high-precision technology equipment must be strictly controlled to meet performance and reliability standards.

Quality and Productivity in Your Photonics Cleanroom

Photonics technologies significantly enhance precision, efficiency, and process quality, contributing to increased productivity across industrial sectors.

Photonics companies are key players in the development of advanced tech solutions, providing strategic and operational advantages in demanding environments. But meeting these challenges requires the stability and safety of a controlled cleanroom environment.

Case Study: For one of our clients—a manufacturer of optical mirrors—we designed a 500 m² ISO 7 cleanroom, including a dedicated ISO 8 personnel airlock. This solution resolved prior quality issues and protected their production process, enabling them to deliver high-performance, reliable optical mirrors to their clients.

Our Expert Recommendations for Your Custom Photonics Cleanroom

Whatever ISO classification you require, we guide you through the complete design and build of your cleanroom. We can also create specific sub-zones with ISO 5 laminar or turbulent airflow as needed.

We’ll define the workflow and traffic flows to match your production requirements, including:

Personnel entry and exit flows
Personal flow to supply material and evacuate production from the clean room or gray room
Cross-flow management

Definition of the flow of personnel interacting with the clean room or gray room:

Partitioned airlocks (SAS)
Pass-through chambers (passbox)
Dedicated waste disposal channels
Pressure cascade control

At the end of the project, you’ll receive a complete technical dossier and metrological inspection report, including:

Particle concentration
Temperature and humidity control
Pressure differentials

Optional: We also offer certified OPCO training programs for your personnel working in controlled environments, ensuring optimal performance and long-term compliance.
