Integrated Photonics in Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN)

February 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Event Category:

Speaker

Dr. Christian Reimer

HyperLight Corporation

Abstract

This presentation will provide an introduction into integrated photonics in thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) photonics and its applications, including technical status and ongoing development. Over the past years, TFLN has transitioned from a research-centered new material platform to becoming the leading platform to provide practical solutions for next generation applications. In particular datacom, telecom and high-performance applications such as radio-over-fiber and measurement and test can benefit from TFLN attributes such as ultra-high electro-optic bandwidths, low driving voltages, compact size and cost-effective volume production.

Biography

Dr. Christian Reimer is a physicist and entrepreneur working in the fields of nonlinear optics, integrated photonics and quantum optics. He received graduate degrees from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, Heriot-Watt University in Scotland, and the National Institute of Scientific Research in Canada. He then worked as a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard University, before becoming Co-Founder and Chief Architect of HyperLight Corporation. HyperLight, a Venture-Capital funded scale-up, is specialized on scalable integrated lithium niobate technologies for ultra-high performance photonic solutions.
