EDWATEC is live at OPIE Yokohama.
April 22, 2026
Visitors are warmly invited to meet the team at Booth T-32 until April 24 and see a live demonstration of EDWATEC’s erbium-doped waveguide amplifier technology. The demonstration highlights how on-chip optical amplification can support next-generation photonic systems by enabling compact, scalable, and high-performance optical gain directly at the chip level.
We look forward to connecting with the photonics community in Japan and discussing how EDWA technology can address emerging needs in optical communications, sensing, and integrated photonics.
