Our strengths

Founded in 1995, IDIL has accumulated valuable skills, experience and technical expertise in the fields of fiber optics. We support researchers, engineers and industrial professionals in all development phases of their project: from feasibility studies to the design, development and manufacturing of basic components, smart integrations, and high-end systems.

As a one-stop partner, we provide end-to-end solutions – from design to fully integrated systems. We collaborate closely with the scientific community through university partnerships, joint labs, strategic networks, and we are also involved in many international far-reaching projects.

Recently, IDIL has joined the Fiber Optics Group, a new holding company owned by J-F Vinchant Holding Strategy and by the investment fund Yotta Capital Partners. Our vision is to become a European leader in advanced fiber optic assemblies and photonic systems for extreme environment and demanding applications.

As a middle-sized business, IDIL offers custom-made services. The company’s customers and partners deal with a team ready at all times to listen. IDIL has thus become a truly international company, driven by the highest standards of performance, efficiency and creativity while retaining a personal approach and maintaining close links with its customer base.

Another distinctive feature of IDIL is the significant interaction between its different lines of business. The close links between the company’s various activities means a high level of cohesion, both in the core of the departments and in corporate strategy.

IDIL head office, R&D laboratories and production activities are located in 2300m² facilities in Lannion, at the heart of a major Photonics ecosystem. The development of photonics start-ups in Lannion dates back to the 60s. All main fibre technologies are now located in Lannion. It is easy to get answer or find equipment for our projects.

With a 10% average annual growth, IDIL fosters an ideal setting for team evolution. We respect high social and environmental standards, while creating an environment where employees can work together productively and efficiency.

IDIL manages to cultivate a number of excellent suppliers, which has enabled the company to minimize quality risks in their supply chain – a crucial factor for defense applications which now account for a third of the company’s turnover.

Our fields of excellence

Fiber assemblies & components

IDIL manufactures high-quality fiber assemblies and components according to customer specifications. Fully customizable, we offer a large selection of fibers, coatings, wavelengths, pigtails, terminations, fiber tips and packaging options. Our solutions can easily withstand harsh environments in aerospace, chemical, and industrial sectors. Our production workshop is fully equipped to answer OEM demands and mid-sized series, but flexible enough to realize customer specific, single unit products.

Optoelectronic systems & lasers

IDIL is the world leader in designing and manufacturing smart fiber systems for shock physics, optopyrotechnics, fiber sensing, laser seeding and fibered interferometry. Our specialty lies in providing plug and play solutions including fiber assemblies, components, fiber lasers, interrogators, and a broad range of sensors including FBG, Brillouin-scattering, and Fabry-Perot types. We handle all aspects, from manufacturing to installation, as well as providing in-house after-sales training and maintenance services.

Spectrometers & confocal modules

IDIL offers standalone, modular and comprehensive spectroscopy combos, featuring spectrometers, lasers, light sources, fibers, accessories, and imaging modules for microscope enhancements. Additionaly, we excel in creating tailored systems for portable and custom integrations for nomad or laboratory applications. We handle any types of fibers from UV to NIR, along with techniques to safeguard optical fibers against moisture, contaminants, and chemicals.

Photonics engineering, OEM & services

IDIL specialized in photonics engineering and the production of complex fiber and optoelectronic systems. Our team can support you at all stages of your project, from TRL1 to 8. For instance, since 1995, IDIL has been a longstanding engineering partner and supplier of photonics solutions for the Megajoule Laser (LMJ). In addition to this collaboration, our team is engaged in numerous R&D projects focused on smart sensing, embedded spectroscopy, quantum, and research into fibered lasers and amplifiers.
