Briefings

izmo Microsystems and IIT Madras entered Phase II of the CPPICS silicon photonics program, sanctioned by MeitY with a total outlay of ₹99.94 crore. izmo will contribute ₹2.40 crore cash and in-kind, while MeitY provides ₹97.54 crore. The five-year program focuses on 1.6 Tbps silicon photonics transceivers, microwave photonics, quantum technologies, and AI photonic computing, targeting co-packaged optics and 1550 nm optical engines. izmo's role shifts to packaging, testing, and integration, aiming to convert research prototypes into production-ready systems.
