Pilot Photonics

Take a look at Frank Smyth's interview with #PIC_Magazine at last month's ECOC Exhibition. He's talking about our nano-iTLA, mmWave and O-band laser array technologies and their applications in data centre interconnects, frequency generation and co-packaged optics. For more information, visit the Pilot Photonics website or drop us a message on LI. Or, to find out more about space applications for our products, come and visit us on the #Enterprise_Ireland pavilion at #SpaceTech Expo in Bremen on 18th-20th November.

Following on from our very successful ECOC in Copenhagen, we're keeping the momentum going throughout November. Here are some of the places you can catch up with us: - We'll be attending the #PIC_Summit in Eindhoven on 4th & 5th November: https://lnkd.in/emRcSwEa - In parallel with the PIC Summit, we're one of just 14 European SMEs selected for this year's #Tech_Tour #Photon_Hub_Scaling_Club. https://lnkd.in/dapc4RCv - Pilot CTO Frank Smyth will be at the 14th IEEE CPMT Symposium Japan (#ICSJ2025) in Kyoto on 12th-14th where he has been invited to give a presentation entitled: 'Chip Scale Comb Lasers for Co-Packaged Optics': https://lnkd.in/dUz6cc9p - We'll be exhibiting on the #Enterprise_Ireland pavilion (Y13) at this year's #SpaceTechExpo Europe in Bremen from 18th - 20th November, where we'll have live demos of our #OFGU and our #tunable_laser suitable for space communications applications. https://lnkd.in/er3ySitF We'll be posting more over the coming weeks, but if you're going to be at any of these events, please drop us a line on [email protected] to arrange a meeting: we'd love to see you.

It's been a busy few weeks for our Senior Photonics Engineer and Product Strategist, Amol Delmade. Not only has he been presenting at European Microwave Week and ECOC's Product Focus Session & Hackathon event, but he's been named as one of the #Photonics100 for 2026, and has had a co-authored paper with the University of Belgrade and Dublin City University published in #OpticsExpressJournal. Many congratulations from the Pilot team, Amol!

It's been a busy and exciting 3 days at ECOC, and our 5-strong team was busy with a constant stream of visitors to the booth, enquiries, meetings, presentations and two live demos. Pilot's product specialist, Amol Delmade, gave an excellent, and well-received presentation in the product focus session where he provided insights on our Multi-Wavelength laser sources offerings for scaling capacity in data centres. In addition, two technical papers co-authored by Pilot Photonics engineers were presented: '8 x 225 Gbit/s PAM-8 Transmission Employing DFB Laser Array Source and Quantum-Dot SOA-PIN for Intra DCIs' was presented by Ahmed Galib Reza of Dublin City University, whilst Alireza Shamsafar of SMART Photonics delivered 'High Output Power, 128 GBaud Monolithic InP Integrated Transmitter Fabricated in an Open Access Foundry'. Pilot's lead engineers Amol Delmade and Caolán Ó Murchú (Murphy)án Murphy participated in the well-attended Hackathon. As with last year's Hackathon, the Pilot technology received a lot of attention and questions. Back on the booth, we were showcasing our nano-iTLA, laser array technology and OFGU based upon our integrated comb laser assembly. Our two live demos - the nano-iTLA laser and our Lyra-X 16-channel O-band laser source (in collaboration with Anritsu) - were the subjects of much interest and comment. Once again, our ECOC experience reaffirmed the value of being part of Europe's largest optical communications conference. See you in Malaga in September 2026! #ECOC #comb_laser #photonics #iTLA #OFGU

Join us at booth #E1307 on ECOC Exhibition floor and see our lasers in action. Last couple of hours left before the floor closes for the year. #TunableLaser #LaserArray

Join us at ECOC Exhibition product focus session where Dr. Amol Delmade, our product strategist, will provide insights on our Multi-Wavelength laser sources offerings for scaling capacity in datacenters. We are showing live demo of two laser products at our booth #E1307, so visit us to witness the laser magic. #Datacenter #CPOs #LaserArray

European Microwave Week is a leading conference on microwave and mmWave technology, so it's the perfect setting for us to spread the word about our OFGU which serves the wireless market. Our Senior Photonics Engineer and Product Strategist, Dr. Amol Delmade, will be at the European Microwave Week next week in the Netherlands, giving a talk on our Optical Frequency Generation Unit (OFGU) product which is designed for the terrestrial 5G/6G, satellite communication, test and measurement, and Earth observation applications. His talk, entitled 'Astro FG: Agile Optical Frequency' on Wednesday, 24th September at 11:30am, will focus on our two different offerings capable of generating RF carriers over a wide range of frequencies up to 170 GHz and 440 GHz, respectively. Our collaborator Prof. Liam Barry from Dublin City University will also be giving a talk on 'Optical Frequency Combs for Sub-THz 6G Wireless Communication' at the same session. Get in touch with Amol Delmade to set up a meeting, or say hello to him during the conference. #EuMW2025 #OFGU #mmWave #microwave #DeepSpaceObservation #THz #satellitecommunication #5G #6G
