The BaTiO₃ platform can be fully integrated into standard CMOS silicon manufacturing processes, facilitating rapid adoption without requiring factory retooling. BaTiO₃'s extremely high Pockels coefficient (reaching up to ~1,300 pm/V in monocrystalline form) enables ultra-low voltage electro-optical modulators in numerous photonic applications. Thanks to these advantages, BaTiO₃ is emerging as a leading electro-optical material for high-speed, low-loss switching in quantum optical circuits, and is being used by PsiQuantum to build quantum supercomputers.
Driven by advances in artificial intelligence and machine learning, the quantum computing market is experiencing strong investment and is projected to reach $20.5 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.6%. Driven by increasing demand for continuous health monitoring, the biosensors market is also showing significant growth, rising from $32.6 billion in 2026 to $67.1 billion in 2034. BaTiO₃'s ability to maintain operational efficiency under adverse conditions positions it strongly for LiDAR applications in defense and aerospace, with a market projected to grow from $3.27 billion to $12.79 billion by 2030.
“The launch of the beta version of our barium titanate wafer represents another step forward in the advancement of co-packaged optics in the context of the rise of AI, quantum photonics, and other high-capacity applications,” said Agham Posadas, CTO and co-founder of La Luce Cristallina. “With this beta version, current and prospective customers can test our capabilities and unlock the full potential of barium titanate to drive multiple generations of electro-optical innovation across a variety of use cases.”.
