Technologies Luqia

Luqia is an industrial innovation laboratory formed from the merger of the Institut national d'optique (INO) and the Centre de recherche informatique de Montréal (CRIM). It works across artificial intelligence, advanced photonics and quantum technologies, offering pre-commercial R&D and prototyping to convert research into commercial products. It also develops, qualifies and manufactures optical components and subsystems, including ytterbium-doped FastFBR fibres, LaserNGN amplifier modules, terahertz imaging solutions and thermal imaging cameras, and offers thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) foundry services for integrated photonic circuits.

Its customers include companies, universities and public and professional organisations, with work in defence, space, aerospace and biomedical devices. Services cover AI adoption, experimentation and industrialisation, computer vision and industrial inspection, and medical device development from concept to short-run production. Luqia is ISO 13485 certified.

Luqia operates in Québec City, where its current job postings are for technologists, technicians, machinists, a project manager and internship positions in photonics, microsystems and laser and fibre optics.

Product: Optical components and subsystems, TFLN integrated photonics foundry services, and AI, photonics and quantum R&D and prototyping.
