Fraunhofer IPMS develops devices and photonic integrated circuits based on silicon nitride waveguides. By using tailor-made technologies, Fraunhofer IPMS offers the possibility to monolithically integrate waveguides with CMOS devices and to design them with low losses.
Unique opportunities arise from the possibility to combine silicon nitride waveguides with liquid crystal waveguides, where a specific electrode configuration can lead to new programmable devices for different applications.
