About

Source: syphos.ca

Syphos states that “Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are changing how light powers technology” but that “their potential remains largely untapped in other industries” beyond data communications, and that “Syphos exists to make PICs practical and accessible”, helping companies “speed up R&D, cut complexity, and reach the market faster”. It describes itself as “one of the few players currently building with thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) outside of optical communications” — a platform “Combining semiconductor fabrication processes with a strong electro-optic effect” that the company believes “has the potential to become a powerhouse for integrated photonics applications that demand high performance”, offered through “a growing portfolio of validated IP building blocks, customizable chips” and packaged modules.

  • Offers a four-part platform: custom PIC design, packaged modules, thin-film lithium niobate known-good dies, and licensable IP blocks. syphos.ca

  • Listed as an incubatee of Quantino, Quebec's optics and photonics deep-tech incubator. quantino.ca

  • States its photonic integrated circuits target advanced sensing and quantum applications for component providers and systems integrators. syphos.ca
