Workshop of Photonics

WOP | Workshop of Photonics is a femtosecond laser micromachining solutions provider for industry & science customers around the globe.

With over 20 years of experience, WOP delivers fully integrated services from feasibility and prototyping to actual solutions – micromachining services and tailor-made laser workstations.

WOP introduced its special optics—space-variant retarders (SVR)—to the market in 2012, and they quickly became one of the company’s key activities. Subsequently, WOP decided to establish a new brand for its SVR products, resulting in ORISANDO.

ORISANDO has a dual meaning: "ORI" signifies originality and a unique way of production. "SANDÕ," a Japanese term, refers to a visiting path, which in our context symbolizes the path of the light beam. Additionally, "SAND" represents the optical elements, crafted from fused silica glass made from quartz sand.

The brand name is framed by two "O"s, representing optical elements. Finally, the logo features a stylized path of the light leading to the ending "O."
