Livingston-based Optoscribe, a global supplier of glass-based integrated photonics components, has closed a series B investment round of £1.8 million in line with its expansion and product supply plans.

The funding was led by Edinburgh-based angel syndicate Archangels, with support from Par Equity, Scottish Investment Bank and the Optoscribe management team.
