About UsFounded in 2015 and headquartered in Edinburgh, Photon Force is a multi-award winning business with a mission to provide innovative, high quality and accurate sensor technology to facilitate research, and ultimately enable next-generation products. Until now, single photon detection and timing capabilities have only been available as separate, bulky and low-throughput pieces of equipment. Photon Force's products help speed up research progress by streamlining these features into a single, simple unit, easily integrated into an existing lab setup. Our current cameras have been used for a wide range of exciting and revolutionary applications, such as video-rate fluorescence lifetime imaging, advanced LiDAR systems which can image through fog and even around corners, and neural imaging to support emerging brain-computer interface research.
Photon Force has recently secured £1.8m in research and development grant funding which is aimed at supporting the next stage of growth, focusing on developing the product range for a wider customer base and future revenue streams. With an interesting and diverse customer base, which includes Biomedical research, Energy Sector, Social Networking and Quantum Optics, and additional project assignments into 2025, we have set strong foundations on which to build.
