Multiplex Photonic Ltd
|
 |
|
Multiplex Photonics specializes in high speed analytical technology to provide unique information-rich solutions for photonic and electronic data in the biomedical, materials, opto-electronics and communications sectors.
Typical applications are found where information is buried in periodically varying signals. These periodic signals may be buried deeply in noise and to such an extent that they have been inaccessible using available recovery techniques. Such signatures can be an inherent property of applications from molecular spectroscopy to communications. Alternatively tags with particular signatures can be introduced to identify or track changes that occur in complex systems, from live biology to data communications.
