### About Cailabs' custom products

Cailabs has a unique technology for manipulating the shape of the light, called MPLC (Multi-Plane Light Conversion). MPLC was originally invented for multimode quantum optics, where lossless conversion of spatial modes is a key element.

It is based on the succession of transverse phase profiles, similar to highly complex lenses, separated by a specific propagation distance. MPLC is a very low loss process, which enables the combination and shaping of multiple light beams. The passive nature of this technology means it can be integrated in systems where reliability is critical.

Cailabs works closely with leading manufacturers to develop tailored or custom solutions in advanced manufacturing technology sectors (Defense, Aircraft, Space, Automotive, etc.).

Cailabs is therefore in a position to ensure that its components meet its partners’ specific requirements for integration in demanding environments (aeronautical wiring for Safran, industrial production, etc.) and complex systems ([**G-PON for existing fiber infrastructure for Tellabs**](https://www.cailabs.com/en/news/partnership-with-tellabs/), [**micro-machining for Amplitude Systèmes**](https://www.cailabs.com/en/news/cailabs-and-amplitude-laser-group-for-innovative-laser-processing/), etc.).

The “Cailabs inside” strategy makes it possible to maximize the impact of Cailabs’ innovative technology. Thanks to the combination of Cailabs’ technological expertise and its partners’ in-depth understanding of the issues at stake, these partnerships provide relevant solutions in innovative markets.
