ESA ScyLight project “LIMA” launched Albis Optoelectronics announces the launch of LIMA – Avalanche Photodiodes for Low-noise Applications in Optical/Quantum Communications at 1550nm, an ESA funded R&D project that started in March 2025 under the framework of the ScyLight programme. The primary objective of this project is to design, fabricate, and characterize a 2.5 Gbps […]

A European research and industry consortium led by Soitec, a world leader in the design and manufacture of innovative semiconductor materials, has begun work to develop a future generation of high-frequency semiconductors based on Indium Phosphide (InP).

New Chips Joint Undertaking research project ARCTIC is addressing cryogenic classical and quantum microsystems. Albis Optoelectronics will contribute to this project with developing high-power photodiodes for ultra-low phase noise microwave generation at cryogenic temperatures.

Albis Optoelectronics announces the launch of RETINA – Four-quadrant InGaAs avalanche photodiodes for LEO direct-to-Earth optical ground station, an ESA funded R&D project that started in May 2023 under the framework of the ScyLight programme.

Albis and HiLight are promoting their latest 10G APD and CMOS TIA-receiver products by jointly demonstrating high levels of performance achieved with this unique APD-TIA combination.

The microwave photodetector PQS40A-L receives prestigious 2023 Lightwave Innovation Award.

At the upcoming ECOC 2022 exhibition in Basel, Albis Optoelectronics will present its new 40 GHz photodetector PQS40A-L, a small sized packaged device, designed for the detection of RF-modulated optical signals.

The project focuses on the development of a new packaged RF photodetector with optimized form factor and integration of a monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) for broadband matching from 0 to 40 GHz and narrowband matching for frequencies inside 2 to 4 GHz and 22 to 26 GHz.

Albis Optoelectronics announced today that both its entries, the 28 Gbaud avalanche photodiode APD20D1 and the 800G photodiode array PS60X4, were recognized among the best by the 2022 Lightwave Innovation Reviews.

We are delighted to announce that we are now a member of EPIC – the world leading photonics industry association!

At the upcoming virtual OFC exhibition Albis will present its new, topside illuminated 28 Gbd APD chip APD20E1.
Key features of this innovative APD are a large dynamic range and a high optical damage threshold of up to +5 dBm.

ECOC Exhibition 2020 is the first time ever for Albis to participate in a virtual event. Come and visit us at www.ecoclive.com and find out about our latest product releases such as our PS60X1, a 112 Gbaud/s high speed photodiode assembly targeting 800G transmission links. We look forward to shake hands virtually!

The European R&D project “SIPhoDiAS” aims at developing space photonic components and sub-systems for the new telecom satellite generation.

New highly sensitive APD chip APD05C1. This linear mode APD is optimized for long-wavelength, eye safe LiDAR applications and comes with low dark current and low excess noise.
