BTO-powered PICs for communication and switching

Controlling light with electrical signals is a critical function in photonic integrated circuits for optical communication, sensors, and switches. Lumiphase develops and manufactures photonic chips based on a unique BTO Pockels technology. The superior materials performances translate into electro-optical modulation functionalities with benefits in cost, speed, transparency, power-consumption, and footprint compared to standard silicon solutions. The Pockels-enhanced chips enable next-generation transceivers, both for coherent as well as direct-detect data transmission schemes, as well as for a wide range of photonic applications ranging such as sensing, data processing, or switching, where large numbers of ultra-efficient, integrated phase shifters are needed.
