Quantifi Photonics develops and manufactures benchtop and modular test instruments and customized test solutions for high-density photonic components. Its instruments serve manufacturers of next‑generation optical transceivers and co‑packaged optical devices that use very high numbers of parallel channels transmitting data at speeds up to 52 terabits per second. The company raised $15M in a Series C funding round led by Intel Capital and intends to use the proceeds to grow R&D and manufacturing teams and expand sales and customer support in the USA and Europe. Quantifi plans to offer fully integrated test systems for optical transceivers, silicon photonics and co‑packaged optical devices as they move from R&D labs to high‑volume production. The company is headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand and has wholly‑owned subsidiaries in the USA and Thailand. It is led by CEO Dr. Andy Stevens. Quantifi Photonics builds test equipment used by labs and manufacturing facilities for silicon photonics and optical transceivers. The company has extended its product range since Punakaiki’s initial investment in 2017, moving from lab-focused tools to high-volume production test systems. Its newer products target testing of optical transceivers used to connect servers in very large data centres, helping clients increase production speeds and lower costs. The equipment is positioned to address a growing market as demand for silicon photonics and optical transceivers expands. The team referenced includes Andy Stevens and Iannick Monfils, who have driven the product expansion. No revenue or user metrics were disclosed in the article.
