HyperLight has been spun out from Harvard University's OTD to manufacture superior modulators for fibre-optic telecommunications networks.
Harvard University’s office of technology development (OTD) has unveiled US-based spinout HyperLight, which will commercialise research into modulators for fibre-optic telecommunication networks.
HyperLight will work on compact and efficient lithium niobate modulators, used by integrated photonic circuits to convert electronic data into optical information in fibre-optic cables.
By residing on a small chip, HyperLight’s modulator uses less voltage than current models, theoretically ending the need to install a bulky and expensive amplifier to draw sufficient power.
