Nordic Broadband Light Solutions

Nordic Broadband Light Solutions, which trades as NORBLIS, is a Danish deep-tech company specialising in mid-infrared photonics. According to its official website, NORBLIS describes itself as "the Leading Deep-Tech Development Partner for Mid-Infrared Photonics in the Nordics" and as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). The company turns cutting-edge mid-infrared photonics into deployable solutions, with a stated focus on autonomous inspection, standoff detection and funded co-development for defence, space and aerospace, and wind energy. NORBLIS develops compact and high-power mid-infrared lasers and describes its MIRAGE scanner as "the world's only mid-infrared sub-surface scanner with record resolution and penetration depth." The MIRAGE scanner is designed to be integrated from the research lab to the production hall, using a flexible fiber-optic probe that enables robust scanning even on challenging surfaces such as vertical and curved geometries. Its non-destructive inspection technology reveals structural integrity and detects cracks, corrosion and other defects in real time with micrometer resolution. The company positions itself as a development partner rather than only a component supplier, offering funded co-development alongside its products. Its target industries include asset management, energy and wind, space and aerospace, and defence. NORBLIS states that its mission is to develop next-generation mid-infrared technology that ensures quality, resilience, security and defence. As a DTU spin-out, NORBLIS sits at the intersection of academic photonics research and industrial application. Its website highlights multiple breakthrough technologies and world records in mid-infrared broadband light generation. The company is privately held and based in Denmark.

Nordic Broadband Light Solutions, operating under the brand NORBLIS, is a Danish deep-tech company focused on mid-infrared photonics. Its official website identifies it as a spin-out from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), placing its origins in Denmark's academic photonics research environment. The company describes itself as "the Leading Deep-Tech Development Partner for Mid-Infrared Photonics in the Nordics." NORBLIS has built its business around turning cutting-edge mid-infrared photonics into deployable solutions. Its stated application areas include autonomous inspection, standoff detection and funded co-development for defence, space and aerospace, and wind energy. The company reports that its mid-infrared technologies are at the frontier of science and applications, spanning compact and high-power mid-infrared lasers and what it calls the world's only mid-infrared sub-surface scanner with record resolution and penetration depth. A central product in its portfolio is the MIRAGE scanner, designed for non-destructive inspection. According to the company, MIRAGE reveals structural integrity and detects cracks, corrosion and other defects in real time with micrometer resolution. It is built to be integrated from the research lab to the production hall, and its flexible fiber-optic probe enables robust scanning even in challenging conditions such as vertical and curved surfaces. NORBLIS markets MIRAGE as offering an unbeatable combination of speed, resolution and penetration depth for large-scale coating inspection. The company states that it is pioneering several breakthrough technologies and holds multiple world records in mid-infrared broadband light generation. Its mission is framed as developing next-generation mid-infrared technology that ensures quality, resilience, security and defence. NORBLIS is privately held and based in Denmark.
