About PHIX
PHIX designs and manufactures modules based on photonic chips, or photonic integrated circuits (PICs). PICs offer greater data transfer speed and lower energy consumption when compared to electronic chips, and they open up new innovative applications that tackle the challenges of today’s society. PIC-based modules can be part of, for example, LiDAR systems for self-driving vehicles and mobile medical scanners, or revolutionize (quantum) computing power. Our chip packaging and assembly services bridge the gap between the chip designers and the device manufacturers and require a very multidisciplinary approach to module design and production.
