Enabling high speed coherent
& broadband access

SMART Photonics, the leading foundry for integrated photonics, expands its integration platform portfolio, by adding the new high speed >50GHz modulator, opening the route to >100 GBaud coherent transmission.

By combining our existing, large portfolio of components with this modulator, our high gain SOA and narrow linewidth tuneable laser, we enable a low cost, single chip, high speed coherent transceiver.

Enabling high speed access and green datacenters

By Dr. Spiros Mikroulis - SMART Photonics has a vital role in developing next generation chips for datacom and telecom. As the digital population and the global demand for data continues to grow, so does the need for faster and more reliable networks. That’s where the original band (O-band) comes in....

SMART Photonics scaling up 4 inch

SMART Photonics scaling up to 4-inch wafer production
Doubling production capacity

SMART Photonics is taking an important step in becoming the leading foundry for next generation chips. The Dutch foundry has significantly scaled up its production of photonic chips (PICs) by transferring its entire production capability from 3-inch to 4-inch wafer substrates. Confirming its technology leadership, SMART Photonics is one of the first integrated photonics foundries offering 4-inch InP wafer production. The resulting doubling of production rate translates in a lower price per chip, accelerating the commercial roll out of the foundry’s photonic chips.
