Opsydia is a specialist laser technology company that originated as a spin-out from the University of Oxford. Leveraging decades of academic excellence in adaptive optic beam shaping, Opsydia utilizes ultra-fast laser pulses (less than a trillionth of a second) to fabricate nano-scale structures in transparent materials. Their technology has significant commercial applications in two key sectors: photonics, where they fabricate optical waveguides in glass to address the increasing demands of AI and next-generation computing, and gemstones, where they specialize in laser inscription for the diamond and jewelry industries. Opsydia's laser systems create ultra-high precision, tamper-proof inscriptions both on and beneath the surface of gemstones, enhancing traceability, authenticity, and brand security in luxury goods. The company's adaptive optics approach allows for greater density and complexity in system design, moving beyond current limitations. They have also focused on developing secure and tamper-proof ways to confirm a diamond's identity, supporting traceability, combating counterfeiting, and distinguishing natural from lab-grown diamonds.
