Tomorrow, we celebrate International Day of Light — a day recognizing the incredible impact that light-based technologies have on science, innovation, communication, and everyday life. From advanced imaging systems and lasers to telecommunications, aerospace, medical devices, semiconductors, and renewable energy, optics and photonics continue to shape the modern world and drive technological progress across countless industries. Optical coatings play a critical role in making these technologies possible. Precision thin films help control how light is transmitted, reflected, absorbed, and filtered — improving the performance, efficiency, durability, and accuracy of optical systems used around the globe every day. As the demand for higher-performance optics continues to grow, so does the importance of advancing coating design, deposition technology, and optical engineering. We are proud to be part of an industry that continues to push the boundaries of what is possible with light. Happy International Day of Light to the scientists, engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and innovators helping shape the future of optics and photonics! #optics #photonics #opticalcoating #depositiontechnology #filters #reflection #transmission #internationaldayoflight

Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) in Europe: Innovation vs Industrial Scale Europe has never lacked photonics innovation... from InP platforms to ultra-low-loss SiN. But as demand accelerates (AI interconnects, sensing, quantum), the real question is shifting: Can Europe scale PIC design beyond research and into high-volume manufacturing? Across the ecosystem, there’s strong momentum: • IMEC and CEA-Leti advancing heterogeneous integration and co-design • Fraunhofer HHI pushing high-speed optical systems and packaging • Foundries like SMART Photonics and Ligentec enabling fabless PIC development • Strategic alignment through Photonics21 But the bottleneck isn’t where it used to be. It’s no longer just about better devices. The pressure points now are: • Fragmented PDKs and design ecosystems • Packaging & co-packaged optics (CPO) readiness • Wafer-level testing and yield scalability • Bridging R&D → industrial manufacturing Compared to the US and Asia, Europe risks a familiar pattern: world-class research, slower industrial scaling. Why this matters now... As PICs move into AI infrastructure and data centre optics: • Photonic + electronic co-design becomes essential • Thermal constraints become system-level • Packaging defines performance as much as the photonic device itself PIC design is becoming system engineering Question for the community: Do we need a “CMOS moment” for European photonics with standardised PDKs, mature EDA flows, and tighter design-to-fab integration? Or will Europe continue to innovate… while others industrialise? #Photonics #SiliconPhotonics #PIC #Semiconductors #DeepTech #Optics #PICDesign #IntegratedPhotonics
