Mr. Laurent Raymond is Director of Engineering at 3SP Technologies since October 2017. He has strong experience in engineering and in fabrication of optoelectronic laser and detector components. After a first position at the NMRC Ireland (now Tindall National Institute) as Test Engineer, he joined Alcatel Optical Component Division in 1991 as Process Engineer. Since that time he has actively participated to all the evolution of this company by occupying several different positions.
With Alcatel Optronics in 1994, he managed a fabrication team in the field of lithography, wet and dry etching. He was also involved in process technology transfer from Alcatel Research Center on BRS and EML components. Moreover, he defined investment of many production equipment for the new plant. With Avanex in 2003, after a period as device engineer on 14xx lasers, he took the position of Project Manager and strongly contributed to the development of new 980nm high power chips.
After that, with 3SPhotonics in 2009, he became Product Engineer in order to manage these chips in Fabrication. He especially worked on yields improvement and cost reduction. Later, he extended his responsibilities by managing all 3SPhotonics chips on submount which were in production and then also Front-End process and equipment engineering team.
Mr. Laurent Raymond holds a Master’s degree in Physics of Materials from Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Ingénieurs Electriciens de Grenoble (ENSIEG which has become Phelma later), France.
