R&D projects
From a photonic point of view, a cell culture or a tissue sample can be considered as a biomaterial with unique optical properties (spectral response, refractive index, etc.) which arise from its constituent elements i.e. the cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix.
The idea behind LiPhos is to exploit these characteristics to develop the new generation of biophotonic diagnosis tools (BDT).

Within this project the latest team member of our sister company Surfix, Esther Roeven, wins 'Vlisco Best Graduation Award':
Surface Modification of Ring Resonator Waveguide Devices
The aim of the EU-FP7 funded R&D project MEM-S, is to design and fabricate industrial bio-inorganic nano-porous membranes with novel functionalities based on principles of protein self-assembly and biomineralization according a bottom-up approach. LioniX role is to develop a microoptofluidic system to demonstrate the functioning of newly developed membranes.

The EU-FP7 funded PYTHIA project aims at the development of a novel optoelectronic biochip based on a broad-band Mach-Zehnder Interferometer for the early diagnosis of human diseases. All components of the PYTHIA biochip (light source, waveguides, photodetector) are monolithically integrated in the same Si chip, and fabricated by standard silicon technologies only.

The EU-FP7 project BOOM handles about Terabit on Chip: Micro and Nano-scale silicon photonic integrated components and sub-systems enabling Tb/s-capacity, scalable and fully integrated photonic routers.
The role of LioniX within this project was to implement their proprietary TriPleX technology for the high speed integrated photonic routers. Mach Zehnder Interferometers, Ring resonator matrices and interposers were designed and realized by LioniX.

Merging Electronics and Micro & nano PHotonics in Integrated Systems (Agentschap NL - Smart Mix).
Within the Memphis project LioniX is further developing one of the three main photonic platforms. Besides InP and Silicon On Insulator the TriPleX™ technology of LioniX is the third “standard” photonic platform in the world. The technology development in the Memphis project was focusing on further optimization and standardization of the platform from pure technology development to (software) infrastructure development like for instance a building block design library development together with PhoeniX Software.
