Sustainable Development Technology Canada

At Sustainable Development Technology Canada (SDTC), they fund Canadian cleantech projects and coach the companies that lead them as they move their ground-breaking technologies to market. SDTC’s support of cleantech translates into jobs, growth, and export opportunities for Canadian companies, as well as economic, environmental and health benefits for all Canadians. They are independent but don’t work alone. A big part of their role is building and sustaining networks of partners and stakeholders from private industry, academia and governments, at home and abroad. They operate at arm’s length and receive funding from the Government of Canada.

One Silicon Chip Photonics

Grant in 2021
OSCP is producing a family of micro-scale optical-integrated Gyroscopes and 6-axis Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) that can easily deliver far better than 1°/hour performance in harsh environments reliably. However, unlike today's optical gyroscopes solutions such as FOGs (Fiber-Optic Gyro), OSCP will deliver this precision performance in a compact low-power, low-cost footprint. Compared to FOG-based IMUs, OSCP's solutions is 50x smaller, uses 8x less power, significantly cheaper, and 3x more reliable. As compared to today's low-cost, MEMS-based IMU solutions, OSCP's solutions are both dramatically higher-performance and much less sensitive to environmental effects such as Thermal Drift, Vibration induced Noise, and EMI.
