As data centers, AI clusters, and telecom networks demand faster speeds and lower power consumption, traditional silicon photonics is hitting its physical limits. The solution may lie in a new wave of advanced materials.

Join us for Luceda's webinar series, where we'll focus on advanced photonic modulation materials and the innovative companies bringing them to market. At the forefront of photonic modulation, we’re sitting down with industry leaders working with advanced electro-optic materials, from Thin-Film Lithium Niobate (TFLN) to cutting-edge polymers and plasmonics, to explore how they are pushing the boundaries of bandwidth, footprint, and energy efficiency. 

In our third session, we welcome La Luce Cristallina, a leader in scalable Barium Titanate (BTO) photonics. As compute-intensive AI clusters and hyperscale network fabrics accelerate toward multi-terabit bandwidths, traditional silicon photonics platforms face fundamental electro-optic limits in modulation efficiency and drive voltage. This presentation details how La Luce Cristallina deposits high-quality barium titanate (BTO) via a scalable sputtering process directly onto standard silicon wafers, unlocking an ultra-strong Pockels effect while avoiding the throughput constraints of conventional epitaxy. Attendees will gain insight into wafer-scale sputtering material properties, foundry-ready supply chains, and practical commercial roadmaps for BTO-on-silicon substrates to fabricate and scale PIC designs.

In this webinar, you'll:

• Learn about the unique advantages of emerging modulation materials and how they overcome current PIC bottlenecks.
• Explore how these materials are being successfully integrated into commercial foundry processes and design workflows.
• Hear directly from the companies actively scaling these technologies for the market, and ask them about their roadmaps.

Whether you are a PIC designer, a systems architect, or a technology scout, this series will give you a front-row seat to the material innovations defining the next decade of integrated photonics.
