A Core Enabler for 5G and Beyond

WELCOME

CamGraPhIC Ltd., was founded in 2018 to commercialise its developments with graphene photonics technology. The company is supported by co-founder Frontier IP Group Plc. a company dedicated to supporting the commercialisation of new technology. Together they are building a company of dedicated scientists and engineers to design, develop and manufacture next generation photonic circuits for telecoms and datacoms.

CamGraPhIC Ltd. is working with partners to fabricate Proof of Concept sample devices. The company is raising equity funding to construct a mini-fab within Europe. Leading European network equipment providers are already engaged as collaborators to test and evaluate fabricated devices in advance of using the mini-fab to produce viable components for evaluation in commercial quantities. The company expects to subsequently seek substantial funding for a full scale fabrication facility within Europe, whilst licensing the technology for use in Asia and the US.

Co-founder Frontier IP Group Plc. is dedicated to the commercialisation of new technology. Frontier IP provides ‘hands-on’ leadership to support CamGraPhIC as well as leadership in developing the business strategy and raising funding.

GRAPHENE PHOTONICS

In this interconnected world, with ever growing amounts of content, data traffic is increasing at unprecedented rates whilst consumers expect ever faster data access. This is driving strong demand for smaller, cheaper, faster, scalable photonic chips that can deliver against datacentre technology roadmaps and network developments for 5G and beyond.

Incumbent technology platforms, including the emergent Si Photonics, will not be able to support current roadmaps due to intrinsic technological limitations. Graphene photonics is a core enabler for the creation of devices with small footprints, low cost, high bandwidth, low energy loss and very high speeds.

AREAS OF EXPERTISE

CamGraPhIC uses 2D materials to create low power electro-optical interfaces that convert electrical signals to modulated light signals and back at Tb/s speeds.

CamGraPhIC’s core product is a graphene photonic chip for data conversion that, with small variations dependent on applications, will constitute a single platform for datacom and telecom industries. Graphene modulators and photodetectors will be integrated into silicon chips, exploiting the unique performance demonstrated so far operating across multiple telecommunication bands (1280 – 1310nm, 1525 – 1565nm and 1565 – 1610nm).
