Advancing TFLN PICs to Meet Market Demand and Scale Production
Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is emerging as a key platform for next-generation PICs. Achieving high-volume production, however, demands reliable, standardized foundry services and accessible manufacturing models. This presentation will highlight our latest TFLN technology advancements and introduce CCRAFT’s strategic roadmap for scaling production. We will outline our vision of establishing TFLN as the foundation for next-generation PIC platforms, addressing the growing needs of data telecom, AI, quantum computing, and beyond.
