Physics and Optical Design and Development

Wideblue brings a strong expertise in product design and optical engineering, with roots as a spinout from Polaroid’s European design division. Our foundation continues to define our work today, as we have partnered with leading universities, research institutions, and private enterprises to deliver high-performance optical and photonic solutions across a wide range of applications.

Photonics integration is a core strength of Wideblue. We specialise in translating complex optical and physical principles into robust, manufacturable products. By seamlessly combining optics with associated mechanisms, electronics, embedded software, and advanced image processing, we create sophisticated systems that perform reliably in demanding real-world environments.

Our teams of physicists and optical design engineers lead projects from concept through to implementation. They support everything from simple illumination to complex imaging and sensing systems, data analysis and measurement, fluid and air systems, microfluidics, and advanced problem-solving across a range of fields.
