Lightium’s Post

Detectors and lasers, soon native to TFLN. Lightium is proud to be part of INGENIOUS, a newly funded €7.6M European–Canadian project to integrate lasers and detectors into next-gen TFLN photonic chips. 👉 TFLN offers unmatched performance in modulation, speed, and loss. 👉 But it lacks two critical pieces: light generation and detection. 👉 INGENIOUS solves that—by combining TFLN with InP-based lasers and detectors, integrated at wafer scale using micro-transfer printing (µTP). Our role: ✅ Leading the platform development ✅ Delivering wafer-scale TFLN+InP integration ✅ Expanding our PDK to include active and nonlinear components ✅ Backed by a €3.1M project budget, supported by Innosuisse This is how we turn TFLN into a complete system platform and build the infrastructure for scalable, production-ready photonics in Europe and beyond. Consortium includes: Sivers Semiconductors, Luceda Photonics, Optiwave Systems Inc., Epiphany Design, CMC Microsystems, ALTER TECHNOLOGY TÜV NORD, and PICadvanced. 📡 Use cases: telecom, datacom, AI, quantum 📄 Full announcement: https://lnkd.in/d2zUGBXK #TFLN #InP #IntegratedPhotonics #Xecs #EurekaProgram #Lightium #Innosuisse #DeepTech #AIInfrastructure #Photonics
