Getting a photonic platform to perform well is one milestone. Getting it to perform exactly the same way, run after run, at volume, is another and turns out, that's the harder half of the job. That's what scaling Oxyn with XIVER is about. We're transferring manufacturing of our proprietary integrated photonics platform to XIVER's advanced 200 mm wafer infrastructure: competitive lead times, repeatable top-quality results and large production capacity. For telecom and datacom applications, that means building on a technology designed not only for performance, but for repeatability and scalability too. That's what scaling integrated photonics actually requires: technology built to be manufactured reliably, produced at scale, and deployed across markets. Integrated photonics, across markets. #PhotonPath #XIVER #Photonics #Innovation #IntegratedPhotonics
