Engineering Light at the Micron Scale
CI Photonics is the photonics engineering division of Colombian Imaging Technologies. We develop diffractive optical systems, holographic mastering technologies, and maskless lithography platforms for advanced photonic applications.
Our Technology Platform
Enhance your optical systems with
Custom Diffractive Optical Engineering Services


Our Diffractive Optical Elements (DOEs) enable precise control and redistribution of light through engineered microstructures. Using computational optical design and our proprietary optical lithography technology, we develop custom optical solutions for a wide range of photonic systems.
- Laser beam shaping and steering
- Structured light pattern generation
- Uniform illumination for sensing and machine vision
- Compact Fresnel optical systems
- Optical calibration targets
