Gallium nitride, the III-V semiconductor that powered the LED lighting revolution, exhibits excellent material properties for high stability, low-loss, nonlinear, active photonic integrated circuits.

Explore New Frontiers

Check out the world’s first supercontinuum in a GaN-on-sapphire photonic integrated circuit (PIC), crafted with care by Hexisense in Switzerland for DESY in Germany.

Tackle New Challenges

Despite a robust industrial foundation, GaN PICs trail the state-of-the-art. One reason is that only GaN-on-sapphire wafers are suitable for PICs. Although standard in the LED industry, sapphire complicates PIC fabrication and design, such as the low-insertion loss edge couplers shown here.
