Technologies and services
A closer look at the products, services, operating features, and documented applications that shape the organization’s role.
Optical component manufacturing
Fiber Bragg grating filtering and dispersion components
What it enables
The photonics catalogue offers precision optical filters and dispersion-management components for optical communications and sensing. Fixed and tunable products let an integrator choose the required optical function. indie’s annual report locates FBG-product assembly and test in Quebec City, while the wider portfolio also includes products from other photonics operations.

Photonics components
LXM narrow-linewidth lasers and coherent optical sensing components
What it enables
The LXM is a narrow-linewidth semiconductor-laser module based on distributed-feedback technology. indie’s March 2024 release describes low-noise electronics and frequency modulation for coherent applications, with configurations addressing wind sensing, distributed acoustic sensing, FMCW lidar and optical-network monitoring. It is an optical source for integration by system developers. The inspected announcement does not establish complete-system detection performance or a defence deployment.

Questions for a first conversation
Which quoted optical components are assembled and tested in Quebec City, and under which Canadian legal entity?
The annual report separates Canadian FBG and laser work from Swiss photonics operations. A product-specific workshare declaration is needed for Canadian-content decisions.
Geography
Québec, QC
