The ever-growing technological advances in computing, communication, and sensing all depend on photonics. PINC is building a transformative integrated platform to meet these needs and make that future possible. For decades, photonic chips have been missing their equivalent of the transistor, the compact, scalable nonlinearity that fueled the electronics revolution. PINC’s NanoPPLN platform, born from groundbreaking research at Caltech, delivers that missing piece and brings the power of nonlinear optics from large optical tables to chips, opening new frontiers in optical sensing, quantum technologies, AI, data centers, and beyond.
