LIGENTEC is a Swiss based semiconductor manufacturing partner, offering low loss SiN Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) for industries such as Quantum technologies, LiDAR, Communications, Space and Sensors. Due to its high confinement, the thick nitride waveguides and resonators have low bending losses and excel even in high power applications from the visible to the mid-IR. The main application areas for this advanced silicon photonics low loss technology include coherent telecommunication, quantum computing, LiDAR, metrology, supercontinuum generation, spectroscopy, sensing and microwave photonics. LIGENTEC’s All Nitride Core Technology platform is fully CMOS compatible, thus allowing us to offer ramping up to high volumes benefiting from the scale of the semiconductor industry. The company was co-founded by lab alumni Dr. Michael Zervas and Dr. Michael Geiselmann jointly with Prof. Tobias J. Kippenberg in 2016.
