Technology

What is TFLN

Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) is a superior optical material that enables photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to perform beyond the limitations of silicon photonics. Lithium niobate, often called the "silicon of photonics," has long been the gold standard for high-speed modulators due to its intrinsic low-loss and ultrafast electro-optic Pockels effect. Unlike traditional bulk lithium niobate devices, TFLN leverages semiconductor manufacturing processes to achieve tightly confined optical waveguides, enabling PICs with unprecedented bandwidth, low voltage operation, compact size, and exceptional reliability.
