Specialists in structured micro- and nano-scale surfaces

With an industrial heritage in optical media design, including the world’s first commercially available blue laser media, Plarion develops new applications for optical technologies.

Plarion’s engineers pioneered research in both organic dye-based media and phase change metallic alloys for professional storage products, as well as more unusual systems utilising ablative films, rewritable pigments and fluorescent compounds.

Plarion now provides world-class consultancy for optical data surface development.

We work with our clients to advance new techniques of manufacture and applications of this science, leveraging the highly developed but mass-produced optical hardware.

We provide our clients with the knowledge and expertise to develop structured micro/nano-scale surfaces for novel applications.

We create bespoke solutions to problems in high tech manufacturing development, in thin film coatings and nano-replication.

We undertake both commercial and grant-funded work, ranging from the smallest of specialist coating jobs, to collaborative research projects lasting many years.

Our experienced technical staff apply advanced equipment and techniques to deliver a rapid competitive edge to our clients.
