With support from the European Space Agency (ESA), Switzerland-based Luxtelligence has demonstrated prototyping capabilities in a novel photonic platform. The platform is based on thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN), suited for the development of high-speed electro-optic modulators. Such modulators could, in turn, be used in positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) technologies.
