Lionix lands €3.5M investment to spur growth
Lionix International has received a 3.5-million-euro investment from a Dutch consortium led by public investment bank Invest-NL and capital venture firm Forward.one.
Twente’s silicon nitride ecosystem moves up a gear
Through a concerted effort spearheaded by the University of Twente, the silicon nitride ecosystem in the east of the Netherlands prepares to spread its wings.
A bright future for silicon nitride integrated photonics
No technology platform can do it all in integrated photonics. In part I of a four-part series, we take a closer look at a base material that stands out for its low light losses and broad spectral coverage: silicon nitride.
Lionix launches ‘AR headset on a chip’
Clunky augmented reality (AR) headsets may be a thing of the past thanks to Lionix International.
Twenty years in the making, the photonic big bang is near
Over the past two decades, on more than one occasion the time seemed right for integrated-photonics technology to move beyond niche applications. Now finally, everything is lined up for that to happen, says Lionix International CEO Arne Leinse. It will require one more bold investment push, however.
Surfix’ biophotonic diagnostic platform attracts €8.5M investment
Parent companies Lionix International and Qurin Diagnostics, along with photonics industry accelerator Photondelta and development agency Oost NL, are investing 8.5 million euros in Surfix to help it advance its point-of-care diagnostic platform.
Lionix helps ETH to scale quantum computer
Lionix has assisted researchers at the ETH Zurich to build a scalable version of the so-called trapped-ion quantum computer.
A corona test for the masses
Dutch companies Lionix, Qurin and Surfix, along with public-private partnership Photondelta, have set out to unlock the potential of integrated photonics for corona testing. Their ultimate goal: a fast, reliable, yet inexpensive corona test.
Photondelta project takes PICs in space
Collaborating within the Photondelta Flagship project, the better part of the Dutch integrated photonics industry has started working with TNO’s Space and Semiconductor departments to qualify photonic integrated circuits (PICs) for space applications.
