Compact solutions for the Future of Quantum and Optical Technologies
credit: Infineon
We create integrated optical circuits – written directly into glass using ultrashort laser pulses. These compact photonic chips guide and control light with high precision and are key to next-generation applications in:
Our building blocks include reconfigurable Mach-Zehnder interferometers with tunable phase control, enabling flexible, programmable photonic systems—on a chip the size of a credit card.
