MoU to Revolutionize Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) Device Testing with AI-Driven Solutions
August 7, 2025 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Lightium AG, MPI Corporation, and Axiomatic_AI Inc. have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly develop the world's first Intelligent, Autonomous, and Integrated Test Solution (IAITS) for photonic devices.
This strategic collaboration aims to revolutionize the testing and qualification processes of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) devices by uniting state-of-the-art artificial intelligence, next-generation hardware, and deep domain expertise. The IAITS platform will deliver breakthrough performance in testing workflows—enabling unmatched efficiency, precision, and scalability to meet the ever-evolving demands of the photonics industry.
A Unified Vision for the Future of Photonics Testing
This partnership is driven by a shared commitment to deliver groundbreaking AI driven and self-optimizing solutions to the photonics industry. By combining Axiomatic_AI's reasoning-based, artificial intelligence with MPI Corporation's industry-leading wafer probing systems and automation software, and leveraging Lightium AG's advanced testing infrastructure and deep expertise in ultra-high-speed photonic device measurements, the collaboration aims to bring fully integrated, intelligent photonic integrated circuit (PIC) test solutions to market.
Together, the three companies are creating a unified AI platform that addresses the growing complexity and performance demands of characterizing photonic integrated circuits—unlocking new levels of automation, precision, and scalability for next-generation applications.
Disruptive Value Creation Across Hardware and Human Resources
The Intelligent, Autonomous, and Integrated Test Solution (IAITS) introduces a new paradigm in photonic integrated circuit (PIC) testing, delivering transformative value across both technology infrastructure and human capital.
Key Benefits of IAITS:
- Increased Throughput: By automating complex test routines, minimizing downtime, and optimizing measurement system utilization, IAITS significantly accelerates test cycles and reduces iteration times.
- Enhanced Human Efficiency: The system reduces reliance on manual operation, programming, and debugging—freeing skilled personnel to focus on high-value engineering and strategic innovation tasks.
IAITS will be commercially available as an advanced software add-on package for MPI Corporation's wafer probing systems. Designed to support both R&D and high-volume production environments, the solution sets a new industry benchmark for efficiency, precision, and scalability—ultimately lowering the total cost of testing and accelerating time-to-market for next-generation PIC devices.
