NLM Photonics and LIGENTEC have demonstrated a commercial fabrication process for Silicon Nitride Organic Hybrid (NOH) modulators that extend operational transparency into the visible spectrum. This advancement addresses a key limitation of standard silicon photonics, enabling new capabilities in quantum sensing and photonic qubit routing without requiring exotic substrates. By integrating high-efficiency organic electro-optic materials as back-end-of-line steps, this hybrid approach lowers barriers to scaling active components for quantum networks.
