Speaker: Christian Reimer, PhD (HyperLight Corporation)
This presentation will provide an introduction into integrated photonics in thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonics and its applications, including technical status and ongoing development. Over the past years, TFLN has transitioned from a research-centered new material platform to becoming the leading platform to provide practical solutions for next generation applications. In particular datacom, telecom and high-performance applications such as radio-over-fiber and measurement and test can benefit from TFLN attributes such as ultra-high electro-optic bandwidths, low driving voltages, compact size and cost-effective volume production.
