Sonics , a wireless communication filter foundry specialist, announced on the 27th that it participated in 'Quantum Korea 2025' held at the Yangjae aT Center in Seoul from June 24th to 26th and showcased its photonics foundry technology.
'Quantum Korea 2025' is an event hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, with participation from major domestic quantum technology-related organizations and companies. Sonics participated in a joint booth with Swiss quantum photonics fabless company Luxtelligence (LXT) and introduced a photonics foundry process based on TFLN (thin film lithium naobate/lithium tantalate). This technology is used to produce key components used in data centers and quantum computing.
TFLN is an optical material that is thinner and more flexible than existing lithium nanobate and can reduce power consumption by up to 40% by providing a bandwidth four times higher than silicon photonics. It also has the characteristic of reducing the delay time of quantum computing with a fast switching speed.
Sonics has signed a business agreement with Luxtelligence for mass production of TFLN-based photonic integrated circuits (PICs), and through this event, it introduced quantum photonics foundry technology to domestic and international stakeholders. During the event, officials from the Swiss National Science Foundation and the Swiss Agency for Education and Innovation (SERI) expressed interest, and discussions were also held with global customers, the company said.
A Sonics official said, “Participating in Quantum Korea is very meaningful as it allows us to introduce photonics foundry technology outside of our main business,” and added, “We plan to expand our participation in global events in the future to promote our technology and secure potential customers.”
