Dexerials launches joint research with Dutch photonics research institute PITC

June 8, 2026 - Dexerials Corporation (Headquarters: Shimotsuke-shi, Tochigi, Japan; Representative Director and President: Yoshihisa Shinya; hereinafter “Dexerials”) announces that it has initiated joint research in the field of photonics with the Photonic Integration Technology Centre (PITC), a photonics R&D institute based in the Netherlands.

In recent years, the rapid adoption of generative AI has significantly increased power consumption in data centers, which has become a global challenge. As a next-generation technology capable of addressing this issue, photoelectronic fusion technologies^*1, including Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) have been gaining increasing attention worldwide. Against this backdrop, Dexerials has positioned the photonics domain, including optical semiconductors, as a growth driver^*2 and is accelerating its research and development efforts while strengthening its production capabilities.

Through this joint research, under a TNO-led research program, Dexerials will combine its strengths in functional materials and optical semiconductors with PITC’s R&D infrastructure. By leveraging these complementary capabilities, the partners aim to strengthen the technological foundation of the photonics domain in anticipation of future market expansion.

Dexerials is committed to accelerating growth in this domain as part of its Mid-term Management Plan 2028 “Achieving Evolution,” thereby contributing to the development of the industry as a whole, realizing a sustainable society, and enhancing corporate value.
