Following this rationale, BOOM—as a European research initiative—aims to develop compact, cost-effective, and power-efficient silicon photonic components to enable optical Tb/s routers for current and new generation broadband core networks. In close collaboration with the University of Twente, MESA+ Nanolab, and photonic companies, New Origin will establish itself as an independent pure-play foundry, revolutionizing the industry by producing cutting-edge silicon nitride photonic chips. Integrated photonics uses the power of light to create energy-efficient, faster, and more accurate microchips. The technology is set to play an essential role in finding and developing solutions for the world's challenges, such as reducing energy consumption, improving healthcare, fighting food. During the past years, monolithic integration in InP has been the driving force for the realization of integrated photonic routing systems.

The PIC100 silicon photonics (SiPHo) process on 300mm wafers at Crolles in France can integrate multiple complex components into a single chip, while ST's next generation proprietary BiCMOS technology brings ultra high-speed and low power processing alongside. STMicroelectronics has developed a silicon photonics technology for next generation 800Gb/s and 1. Using its SHIP™ (Scintil Heterogeneous Integrated Photonics) technology, Scintil developed LEAF Light™, the world's first single-chip, DWDM-native laser source for high-density and low power optical connectivity in scale-up. Each new generation of optical modules is backwards-compatible with the previous-generation technology. Linear Receive Optics (LRO) and Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) are 2 key solutions that engineers building AI infrastructure are exploring to reduce the power from network equipment.
