LOLIPOP Project at OFC2025
The LOLIPOP module was featured at OFC 2025, showcasing the project’s innovative work to an international audience. 🚀 The module, assembled by PHIX Photonics Assembly as part of the LOLIPOP Project, is built on a lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) platform — known for its high electro-optic coefficient, making it ideal for low-power, high-speed datacom […]
LOLIPOP Project | 970 nm Tunable Laser Prototype
We’ve developed a new external cavity tunable laser prototype at 970 nm as part of the LOLIPOP Project. Thanks to our collaboration with Superlum Diodes Ltd and PHIX Photonics Assembly, this laser delivers a single-mode peak at 970 nm and power over 10 dBm—a great start! This new laser joins our lineup of external cavity […]
LOLIPOP Publication | Broadband PureB Ge-on-Si Photodiodes
The LOLIPOP Project paper “Broadband PureB Ge-on-Si Photodiodes” is available online. This paper presents the fabrication of Broadband PureB Ge-on-Si photodiodes using in-situ capping of n-type Ge-islands grown by chemical vapor deposition on Si with a 10-nm-thick pure boron layer. The B-layer forms p+-like anodes with nm-shallow junctions and low dark currents, achieving near-ideal responsivities […]
LOLIPOP Project Plenary Meeting
The LOLIPOP plenary meeting was held on October 1-2, 2024, at the ICCS premises. Over these two days, participants engaged in productive discussions and made significant progress in advancing the project, with all partners actively contributing. The consortium, which includes ICCS/PCRL, LioniX, CSEM, PHIX, UCC, UTwente, Superlum, Optagon, Polytec, IMEC, QuiX, and Irida, took part […]
LOLIPOP module assembled by PHIX
Lithium niobate on insulator (LNOI) is a very promising PIC platform with a high electro-optic coefficient, enabling low-power and high-speed modulation, perfect for datacom needs. The latest module, assembled by PHIX for the LOLIPOP project, showcases the power of this technology. Built on an LNOI chip fabricated at CSEM’s TFLN foundry, it features 5 high-speed […]
New LOLIPOP 1064 nm narrow linewidth tunable laser
We’re thrilled to reveal our latest breakthrough: a 1064 nm tunable laser with 60 dB SMSR and only 1 dB coupling loss. This powerful laser delivers 10 dBm output power, ideal for applications like laser surgery, multiphoton neuroscience, optical communications, and vibrometry! This laser is available in a 14-pin butterfly package or can be directly […]
LOLIPOP Project M17 Plenary Meeting
🎯 We are thrilled to share the highlights of our recent milestone achieved at the M17 Plenary Meeting hosted by CSEM in Switzerland on the 17th and 18th of January. The LOLIPOP Project, under PCRL – Photonics Communications Research Laboratory‘s coordination, aims to revolutionize photonics by addressing the underserved spectral bands below 1100 nm. The […]
