A productive few days in Ghent for the final plenary meeting of the SPRINTER project, kindly hosted by imec. It was great to meet with the consortium partners in person one last time before the final review, reflect on the progress achieved throughout the project, and coordinate the final demonstration activities highlighting SPRINTER Project’s key technologies. A lot of work behind us, and a few important milestones still ahead as we move toward the final review! #SPRINTERProject #EUfunded #Photonics #IntegratedPhotonics #Terahertz #THz #Semiconductors #HorizonEurope #EUResearch
SPRINTER Project
Research
HorizonEU funded project (G.A. 101070581) providing optical transceivers & switching solutions for industrial networks
Σχετικά με εμάς
SPRINTER is a research and development project funded by the Horizon Europe Framework Programme (HORIZON) aiming to combine the best-of-breed optical components and methods from various powerful but complementary photonic integration platforms to develop low-cost, energy-efficient, and ultra-dynamic optical transceivers as well as optical switching solutions in order to cope with the diverse needs of the industrial networks and expedite their truly digital transformation. Within SPRINTER, low-cost and energy-efficient 200 Gb/s optical transceivers will be developed, in order to support the high-capacity connectivity. Additionally, SPRINTER will provide ultra-fast wavelength-tunable 10 Gb/s optical transceivers, enabling the development of an all-optical switching system, guaranteeing the reliability and time determinism required for time critical communication. Leveraging well-proven integration techniques that allow the fabrication of complex 3D photonic integrated circuits, the project will develop a disruptive low-loss and polarization-insensitive reconfigurable optical add-drop multiplexer, optimized for operation within space-division multiplexing network, assisting on the reduction of data congestion in communication systems, preventing the data loss and the delay in data delivery. _______________________________________________________________________________ SPRINTER funded by the European Commission (project no. 101070581)

We are proud to contribute to collaborative R&D efforts driving the future of integrated photonics! ⚡ Find out more ⬇️ #SPRINTERProject #IntegratedPhotonics #Photonics #HorizonEurope #EUfunded
A lot of what happens in #integratedphotonics starts long before a product ever reaches the market 🔙 At LioniX International, our R&D collaborations are where many of those first steps take place. Together with partners across Europe and the world, we work on challenges that range from manufacturability and scalability to advanced applications in areas like quantum, sensing, communications, computing, and more. 🌍 Projects such as FLEX-SCALE, Project MatEl, SPRINTER Project, TERA6G Project, Paralia, and many others give us the opportunity to test ideas, improve processes, and explore what is needed to move photonics forward in a practical way. For us, these collaborations are not separate from industry. They are an important part of building the technologies, processes, and supply chains that integrated photonics will rely on in the years ahead. 💪 To learn more about our R&D efforts, click here: https://lnkd.in/daVNhcrN #LioniXInternational #Research #Development #Technology #Innovation #Photonics

🎉 We’re glad to share our contribution presented at #EuCAP2026 in Dublin 𝗔 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗟𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗚𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝟭×𝟰 𝗔𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿-𝗪𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 (𝗣𝟭-𝗔𝟬𝟭) This work focuses on the design of a compact, high-gain antenna array for mmWave systems, addressing key challenges such as propagation losses and fabrication constraints. By using a multi-layer approach and proximity-coupled feeding, the design achieves improved performance across a wide frequency range. The results highlight the potential of scalable and efficient antenna solutions for next-generation wireless communications. 👏 This work reflects the collaboration between Universidad Carlos III de Madrid and LeapWave Technologies, with contributions from the full #research team. #SPRINTERProject #EUfunded #EuCAP2026 #mmWave #AntennaDesign #WirelessCommunications #Photonics #Research #Innovation
