Founded in August 2004, the Photonics Development Support Centre (PDSC) was established under the support of the HKSAR government and the manufacturing industry. The Centre is one of the most vital infrastructures for companies engaging in photonics product development in Hong Kong to provide multidisciplinary laboratory facilities and equipment supporting research and development of optical fibre data communication devices, panel displays and light-emitting devices and optoelectronic sensors. As a part of the Business Development and Technology Support Centre of the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation, the PDSC is operated under ISO 9001:2000 quality management system. We are committed to achieve total customer satisfaction for our services which are non-profit making and charged at hourly rates or contract base to cover our overhead expenses.

The PDSC provides a full range of technology supports to photonics and optoelectronics industries on research and development of advanced products, from prototype and sample preparation, testing and measurement, to products qualification. The PDSC is equipped with a comprehensive range of advanced laboratory equipment for test and measurement of photonics and optoelectronics devices.

In the fibre optics bitcom and datacom areas, the Centre is equipped with sophisticated test and measurement equipment encompassing the latest technological advances, including RF shield-rooms, micro-optics benches and various test stations for time-resolved chirp, optical dispersion, polarisation, and bit error rate test and characterisation. For visible wavelength displays, solid state lighting, and optoelectronic sensor devices, the Centre supports product performance test and verification.

We also provide customer focused technical supports including consultancy service and professional training. In addition, it has established close partnerships with the local universities and industries.
