Components based on integrated optics and micromachining
Applications as mobile telephones and the internet have brought about an enormous increase in the data communication market. Replacement of electrical functions by optical ones and the potentials of miniaturization forms the driving force for the development of optical components for the Telecom infrastructures.
Lionix' expertises
Based on our core SiON/SiN technology and a plurality of other microtechnologies we offer custom development and production of data communication devices like switches, routers modulators/demodulators and optical cross connects
Our capabilities include:
- Slab and ridge waveguides with high or low index contrast, index tuning (0.001) and low damping characteristcics.
- Gratings, junctions, tunable narrow bandwidth filters, TE/TM filters and control of birefringence parameters.
- Combination with MEMS technologies such as Deep RIE etching, electrode structuring and wet etching to fabricate active components (MOEMS).
