LIGENTEC is excited to participate in the European Conference on Integrated Optics (ECIO) 2026, Europe’s premier integrated photonics forum. As the largest dedicated event on integrated optics in Europe and the longest-running event dedicated to cutting-edge research and technological development in integrated photonics and nanophotonics, this conference brings together leading researchers, engineers, and industry innovators.
Moreover, we invite you to visit our booth to explore how our ultra-low-loss Silicon Nitride Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) enable breakthrough innovations across quantum computing, telecommunications, and sensing applications.
Why the European Conference on Integrated Optics Matters
The European Conference on Integrated Optics focuses on leading-edge research in integrated optics, optoelectronics and nano-photonics. Furthermore, the application scope ranges from tele/datacom communications and optical interconnects to quantum computing and mid-IR photonics. Consequently, this creates an unparalleled environment for collaboration between academia and industry.
LIGENTEC’s Silicon Nitride Platform at the European Conference on Integrated Optics
At the conference, LIGENTEC will showcase our proprietary Si₃N₄ foundry platform addressing critical challenges across:
- Quantum Technologies: Industry-leading low-loss performance for QKD and quantum computing
- LiDAR & Sensing: High-power handling for autonomous systems and environmental monitoring
- Telecommunications: Ultra-low propagation loss (<0.1 dB/cm) for high-speed optical interconnects
- Biomedical Applications: Biocompatible platform for biosensors and lab-on-chip devices
Industry Talk: Silicon Nitride Photonics for the AI Era
LIGENTEC’s Can Yao will deliver an industry talk in Session 2: Platforms on June 15, 2026, from 17:05 to 17:15 CEST at ETH HG E1.1. Her presentation — Silicon Nitride Photonics for the AI Era — From Foundry Platform to Scalable Heterogeneous Integration — will cover how LIGENTEC’s pure-play Silicon Nitride foundry platform enables ultra-low-loss propagation for scalable Photonic Integrated Circuits, including demonstrations of heterogeneous integration with Thin Film Lithium Niobate and manufacturing readiness for Connect, Sense, and Compute applications.
