Photonic integrated circuit manufacturer for quantum, LiDAR, and communication systems
LIGENTEC manufactures photonic integrated circuits (PICs) using all-nitride-core technology for quantum, LiDAR, AI, and telecom applications. The company is engineering-heavy with accelerating hiring (8 roles posted in the last 30 days, mostly senior engineers), focused on scaling prototype fabrication, process yield, and reducing design cycle time—a pattern typical of deep-tech hardware firms transitioning from R&D prototypes to production readiness. Active adoption of silicon photonics signals expansion beyond their core nitride platform.
LIGENTEC is a Swiss B2B manufacturer of photonic integrated circuits, serving customers developing quantum technologies, LiDAR systems, AI accelerators, and telecommunications hardware. Founded in 2016 and based in Ecublens, the company commercializes all-nitride-core PIC technology, targeting early-stage proof-of-concept and volume-production pathways. The product roadmap spans active material integration, prototype scaling, automated testing, and process maturation—reflecting the operational complexity of semiconductor-grade photonics manufacturing.
All-nitride-core photonic integrated circuits (PICs) designed for quantum, LiDAR, sensing, and telecommunications applications, enabling customers to prototype and scale toward volume production.
Reducing design/layout cycle time, increasing process yield, scaling prototype fabrication runs, and advancing process maturity—typical bottlenecks for hardware companies transitioning from R&D to production.
