Innovation

Develop lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) technology for100 GHz optical modulation in telecom and DoD applications.

Objective

Electrooptic (EO) crystals, in particular lithium niobate (LN),are critically important for high-speed optical modulation. They are used in applications such as high data-rate optical fiber communications and high frequency receivers. Achieving the high modulation rates needed for fifth/sixth generation technology standards for broadband cellular networks (5G/6G) and defense applications is challenging. As a result...
