High‑Yield, High‑Volume TFLN Technology Using CMOS‑Compatible Processing

What if it was possible to produce photonic integrated circuits in optically active materials like lithium niobate or barium titanate with the yield and in volumes comparable to CMOS silicon ? Rapid Photonics has developed that technology. Moreover, we can prototype just about any PIC in about 4 weeks using essentially the same processing techniques that are available for mass production. Using our unique approach, we are developing 110+ GHz modulators, low drift interrogators for fiber optical gyroscopes and tunable lasers with a tuning time of 100 ns covering the full C-band. Since our technology can be run using standard CMOS processes, once a successful design has been prototyped, mass production can be outsourced to a well equipped MEMS foundry.
