News › Fraun­ho­fer IOF – New basic tech­no­logy for opti­cal circuits

Fraun­ho­fer IOF is pre­sen­ting a new key tech­no­logy for inte­gra­ted opti­cal cir­cuits based on thin-film lithium nio­bate (LNOI) at the World of Quan­tum 2025 from June 24 to 27 in Munich. The tech­no­logy enables com­pact, energy-effi­ci­ent and high-per­for­mance pho­to­nic cir­cuits – ideal for appli­ca­ti­ons in AI, data cen­ters and quan­tum com­pu­ting.

Deve­lo­ped as part of the Pho­Quant rese­arch pro­ject, the LNOI plat­form opens up new pos­si­bi­li­ties for opti­cal data pro­ces­sing with band­widths in the 100 GHz range and low ope­ra­ting vol­ta­ges. The pho­to­nic com­pon­ents are sui­ta­ble for clas­sic com­mu­ni­ca­tion as well as for pho­to­nic quan­tum com­pu­ters that do not require coo­ling and are sui­ta­ble for future quan­tum inter­net structures. 

Visi­tors can find the exhi­bits at the Pho­Quant stand A1.439 and at the joint Fraun­ho­fer stand A2.415 at the Laser World of Pho­to­nics, which is run­ning in parallel.
