Vescent Photonics is a technology driven organisation developing and manufacturing novel electro-optic, waveguide, and laser technologies. Key research areas for Vescent products are the Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) for laser-cooling of atoms, coherent atom sources, sensors for gravitometry and magnetometry, focused ion beams, ultrasensitive trace-isotope analysis, and quantum computing and cryptography. The company is privately held by the original scientist and engineer founders, one of whom - Mike Anderson - was part of the group that created the first Bose-Einstein condensate.
