The SPRINTER project was presented at the ePIXfab High-Speed Modulators Workshop, currently taking place in Ghent, Belgium, bringing together leading European research projects and experts working on the next generation of high-speed optical modulator technologies. During the opening session, Christos Tsokos presented SPRINTER, introducing the project’s vision, objectives, and contribution to the field of high-speed […]

The SPRINTER consortium recently gathered in Ghent, Belgium, for the project’s final plenary meeting, kindly hosted by imec. The meeting brought together project partners for an important in-person discussion ahead of the final review, providing an opportunity to reflect on the progress achieved throughout the project and coordinate the remaining activities leading to its conclusion.

The SPRINTER Project is pleased to highlight the participation of the GOTL (Optoelectronics and Laser Technology Group) at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in EuCAP 2026, taking place in Dublin, Ireland, where the team will present two accepted papers. The presented works address important challenges in millimeter-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) communications, contributing to the

A new research paper titled “3D-Printed Multimode-Interference-Based Bessel Beamformer for Terahertz Dielectric Waveguides” has been published by the Grupo de Optoelectronica y Tecnología Láser (GOTL) in IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters (Early Access). The study, led by Ashish Kumar (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid), presents an innovative approach to generating Bessel beams in the terahertz (THz) frequency

The SPRINTER Project will participate in the upcoming ePIXfab cross-fertilization workshop on high-speed optical modulators, taking place 11–12 June 2026 in Belgium. This technical workshop will bring together several European research projects working on advanced photonic integrated circuit technologies to exchange expertise across the full innovation chain. Discussions will cover topics including design, fabrication, characterization,

The SPRINTER consortium gathered on 29–30 October 2025 for its 8th Plenary Meeting, hosted by Ericsson R&D Center in Genoa. Over two intensive days, partners reviewed the project’s latest achievements and next steps toward low-cost, energy-efficient hybrid photonic integrated circuits enabling time-critical networking in industrial environments. 🔹 Highlights from the agenda included:• Technical progress and

We’re delighted to share that Dr. Chris Roeloffzen from our project partner LioniX International is an invited speaker at the International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics (MWP 2025), taking place October 14–17, 2025, at the Centre des Congrès de Québec in Québec City, Canada. The talk will showcase ongoing work within the Horizon Europe projects SPRINTER,

The SPRINTER Project took part in this year’s European Microwave Week (Sept. 21–23), alongside the TERA6G and POLYNICES Projects. Throughout the event, the projects presented advances in dielectric waveguide technology and its impact on the future of RF and wireless systems. It was a great opportunity to connect with the EuMW2025 community, exchange ideas, and
