Kloé registered a new patent providing new bonding solutions for pigtailing, FBG packaging. These bondings are curable by thermal, optical or combined effects.

First sales of optical circuits.

Kloé begins the industrialization of its products and looks for venture capitalists and photonics companies to finance this important step of its development.

Kloé presents its 4 channel MUX/DEMUX based on CWDM systems at the OFC 2002 exhibition in Anaheim, Convention Center, California. (see specification sheet ).

Kloé patented a new process to photoprint Bragg Gratings onto waveguides. This revolutionary process allows Kloé to propose a larger range of optical functions. It opens the door to a real optoelectronics hybridation.

Kloé signs a Research and Development contract with a major North American company of photonics.

Kloé was awarded a prize of 250.000 euros from the French Government for its innovation in the field of advanced technologies.

First round with French and North American business angels.

Kloé is founded in Montpellier, south of France, by Paul Coudray and Pascal Etienne, two scientists at Montpellier Sciences University.
