“Mehr Licht!” (“More light!”)

These famous words, attributed to Goethe, have long symbolized the pursuit of knowledge and hope for the future.

Against the backdrop of rapid advances in AI, the explosive growth of data, and ever-increasing demand for computing power, technology is at a major turning point.

Just as optical fiber once connected the world and laid the foundation for the information society, light is now expanding beyond data transmission into computing, AI, and quantum computing.

We invite you to discover the latest research focused on photonic technologies.
