EDWATEC Featured by Optica at ECOC 2025
EDWATEC was featured by Optica and Jon Pugh at ECOC 2025, showcasing our Erbium-doped photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and live demo of scalable on-chip optical amplification.

We were delighted to be featured by Optica and Jon Pugh during ECOC 2025 in Copenhagen!
A big thank you to Jon for visiting our booth and helping share our vision for scalable on-chip optical amplification. At EDWATEC, we are pioneering Erbium-doped photonic integrated circuits (PICs) — enabling compact, fully integrable amplification solutions for telecom, sensing, LiDAR, and space applications.
Special thanks to Parsa Khorasani, Grigorii Likhachev, and Baoyun Sun, whose dedication and hard work behind the scenes made our live demo possible.
It’s inspiring to see the growing recognition for integrated amplification and how our technology is shaping the next generation of photonic systems.
