At 2D Photonics and CamGraPhIC we develop ultra-high bandwidth, low-latency optical interconnects for generative AI, cellular, and high-bandwidth data transfer applications.
Our Graphene Integrated Photonics (GIP) offers superior capabilities for next-generation transceivers. The way we incorporate graphene with silicon photonics preserves its unique electro-optical properties and enables a next generation of optical interconnect devices with reduced electronic complexity, improved energy consumption, and higher channel density.
At CamGraPhIC in Pisa, Italy we run the 700 sqm Inphotec Graphene Photonics development facility, where our team of industry-leading scientists, process development and photonics engineers are pioneering the design and fabrication of Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) incorporating Graphene.
CamGraPhIC Srl is a wholly owned subsidiary of 2D Photonics SpA
