This partnership marks a significant engineering milestone in integrating organic electro-optic materials with silicon nitride platforms, specifically targeting active photonics beyond traditional telecom wavelengths. The technology is explicitly optimized for quantum photonics and sensing applications, addressing the inherent limitations of passive silicon nitride by enabling efficient modulators in the visible spectrum. This development advances the hardware infrastructure required for scalable quantum communication and high-bandwidth optical systems.
NLM Photonics and LIGENTEC Demonstrate Silicon Nitride Organic Hybrid Modulators

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — NLM Photonics, the leader in the development of organic electro-optic (OEO) technology, has partnered with LIGENTEC to produce the first Silicon Nitride Organic Hybrid (NOH) modulators on a commercial photonics platform. Silicon absorbs light in the visible and near-visible spectrum, confining silicon photonics to telecom wavelengths. Silicon Nitride (SiN) has […]
NLM Photonics and LIGENTEC have produced proof-of-concept silicon nitride organic hybrid (NOH) modulators on LIGENTEC’s commercial photonics platform. The devices combine LIGENTEC’s silicon nitride platform with NLM’s organic electro-optic materials to support active photonics at wavelengths beyond traditional silicon photonics. NLM and its partners are optimizing the technology…
