Dexerials Launches Joint Research with Netherlands' PITC for Photonics Development

Dexerials Partners with PITC for Photonics Advancements

Dexerials Corporation, headquartered in Shimotsuke City, Tochigi Prefecture, has recently announced a collaborative research initiative with the Photonic Integration Technology Centre (PITC) of the Netherlands. This partnership aims to drive advancements in photonics technology, particularly in light semiconductor fields.

The global push for efficient technologies has gained momentum due to the rapid rise of generative AI, leading to a substantial increase in electricity consumption within data centers. In response, there is a growing interest in next-generation technologies such as Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) and various optical-electrical integration technologies. Dexerials has identified the photonics domain, including light semiconductors, as a key area for growth, prompting an acceleration in its research and development efforts, as well as enhancements to its production capabilities.

The joint research program, led by the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), seeks to combine Dexerials’ strengths in functional materials and light semiconductors with the foundational technologies available at PITC. The main objective is to reinforce the technological basis for photonics, anticipating market expansion.

Dexerials is committed to achieving its medium-term management plan for 2028, titled “Realizing Evolution.” The plan focuses on accelerating growth in relevant domains, contributing to the advancement of the entire industry, and enhancing corporate value while promoting a sustainable society.
