Building a photonics company in Europe means building a supply chain and a customer base that reaches well beyond it. This past week we joined Plug and Play Japan for their networking and pitching events in Seoul and Tokyo. Plug and Play Japan has built an ecosystem where corporates, investors and startups arrive ready to do business, and is deliberately connecting the complementary strengths of Japan, Korea and Taiwan across materials, components, advanced packaging and semiconductor manufacturing. Photon Bridge is developing multi-wavelength light sources for AI datacenter co-packaged optics. Scaling that technology depends on partnerships across this region: customers defining the next generation of optical interconnect, and supply chain partners who can take us from prototype to volume. 🙏 Thank you to the Plug and Play Japan team and Hayata Okubo for the introductions and the hospitality. A week like this makes the distance between Eindhoven and Asia feel a good deal shorter.

Photon Bridge BREAKTHROUGH TOUR 2026 : We visited Photon Bridge in #Eindhoven in early July, ten months after our first chat at the ECOC Exhibition in Copenhagen. What we saw at their business office on the campus of Eindhoven University of Technology was proof of something the industry doubted was possible: passive self-alignment of indium phosphide lasers onto silicon photonic chips, at insertion losses below 0.6 dB. Here is why that matters. Combining III-V material, which generates light, with silicon photonics, which routes it cheaply at scale, has always meant trading performance for manufacturability. PhotonBridge's fix: a MEMS structure of flexible cantilevers that lets the III-V die find its own position on the silicon wafer. No active alignment, no per-chip tuning. CTO Rui Santos showed us wafer-level testing where every chip, InP and silicon, is measured before assembly. That known-good-die approach is the real yield edge over monolithic integration or transfer-printing rivals: separate the problem, test each piece, combine only what works. Product one: an ITLA for coherent data center links, already beating the 1.6 terabit spec at under 2 watts. Product two: an external laser source for AI interconnects, targeting 38-40 milliwatts per colour with OSFP MSA compatibility across several generations. CEO Paul Marchal runs this fabless company, with partners across InP supply, silicon foundries, and packaging, backed by a fresh, oversubscribed funding round. Sampling to customers is targeted before year-end (2026). Is this the next Philips? They are certainly making waves in the PhotonDelta ecosystem.

Photon Bridge featured by IO+ NL Magazine 💫 Photon Bridge has been featured by IO+ in a new article highlighting the company's novel approach to photonic integration and scalable manufacturing. 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗘𝗚𝗢-𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲. Rather than relying on increasingly complex monolithic integration, Photon Bridge's modular platform separates active and passive photonic components, making high-performance laser integration significantly easier to manufacture at scale. The article explores how this manufacturing-first philosophy could accelerate the deployment of photonic technologies for AI data centers and next-generation optical communications by improving yield, reducing complexity, and enabling compatibility with standard semiconductor packaging processes. We are grateful to Mauro Mereu and the IO+ NL editorial team for covering our vision and sharing how Photon Bridge is helping bridge the gap between breakthrough photonics innovation and high-volume manufacturing. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e2K9nMnj

Proud to share this interview by Jose Pozo from the Optica GAMA Summit in Brussels. Photonics can deliver the performance AI infrastructure needs. The next challenge is manufacturing at scale. In this interview, John Anderton explains why the real question is not active versus passive alignment, but how to achieve high optical performance with manufacturable tolerances. Solve that, and scalable production becomes possible. Watch the interview and stay tuned for John's segment.
BALLROOM DANCE OF THE GREAT IDEAS - PART 1 First impressions from the floor at Optica GAMA Brussels, June 2nd/3rd. We grabbed delegates at the reception on Tuesday and asked what they took away from Day 1. We interrupted conversations by Oliver Matyssek from DELO Industrial Adhesives, Darren Berns at IDEX Corporation Optical Technologies, Ignazio Piacentini of IP Consulting, Alexandre C. from X-Celeprint, Joost van Kerkhof at PHIX Photonics Assembly, Matt Guzy from Lumentum, John Anderton at Photon Bridge, and Andrea Rocchetto from Ephos. Eight perspectives. One room. The conversations that matter in photonics manufacturing right now. Part 2 coming shortly. And if you attended, remember feedback is welcome as we prepare for the next GAMA to be hosted at ASML. Stay tuned.....

Great discussions at the Optica GAMA Summit on the future of co-packaged optics and the path from innovation to deployment. Thanks, John, for sharing your reflections. It is encouraging when industry discussions land exactly on the challenge we are solving: turning great photonics into manufacturable photonics.
The Optica GAMA summit in Brussels this week was all about one question ... how does photonics move from elegant, specialized solutions to volume manufacturing that AI and datacom roadmaps need? Co-packaged optics is moving from concept to deployment, and the bottleneck-behind-the-interconnect-bottleneck is increasingly manufacturability and supply chain resilience. A lot of the discussion centered on active vs passive alignment. To me that framing is almost the symptom, not the cause. We passively bond lasers on silicon at Photon Bridge, but the harder problem underneath is delivering high optical performance while tolerating relaxed placement tolerances that manufacturing at scale demands. Solve that, and passive alignment, automation and high throughput follow. This is where we focus. Thanks to Jose Pozo, Jon Pugh and the Optica and PhotonHub teams for putting it together, and to everyone I compared notes with across the value chain.
