Cambridge Correlators develops systems and solutions based on its patented optical processing technology, which harnesses the huge parallel processing capabilities of diffractive optics – using light rather than electricity to perform calculations far in excess of standard electronic methods and even supercomputers, yet at a fraction of the cost, size and power consumption.  The company is actively developing solutions and partnerships in high impact application areas, including internet image searching, medical image analysis, biometric recognition, large numerical simulation and defence applications.
After several years of fund raising and development that followed from the initial concepts we are pleased to announce that the first product is now being launched: a unique Optical Correlator and Fourier Optics Demonstrator Kit, which is the first of its kind to be commercialised.  The kit allows the user to interactively explore the principles and techniques used in our optical data processing systems.  Aimed primarily at universities as a teaching aid, the kit is being targeted at institutions across the globe, with particular focus in the US, where the subject is mostly widely taught.  Initial marketing has revealed strong interest in the kits and orders are now being taken.  
The company originated from the world renowned Cambridge University Engineering Department.  With the help and support from the Cedars business support team, Wakefield Council and the Yorkshire development agencies, it is now based in the Cedars Business Incubation Centre in Wakefield, West Yorkshire.  The company is strongly committed to the area, with one of its founders, Dr Nick New being local born and bred.  The systems are also produced locally by RDT Precision Optics in South Elmsall.
