Jiangsu Nio Optoelectronics Technology

The firm operates on an integrated device manufacturer (IDM) model, controlling the entire production process from research and development to final packaging. Liobate has developed a complete platform for new-generation photonic chip design, fabrication, and device packaging, achieving mass production capabilities, including a 6-inch TFLN wafer production line. Its core business involves the design, manufacturing, and sale of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and optical modules based on its advanced TFLN modulators. These components are crucial for creating faster, more energy-efficient physical transmission channels, primarily serving the telecommunication and data interconnect markets.

The company's product portfolio is centered on its miniaturized TFLN modulators, which offer high bandwidth, low insertion loss, and high reliability, overcoming the size limitations of traditional lithium niobate modulators. Liobate also provides chip customization services, including various waveguide structures, high-speed electro-optical modulators, phase modulators, and other optical structures. The firm has attracted significant investment from capital groups such as Addor Capital, GP Capital, and Wanlian Securities, completing a Series A1 funding round in February 2025.
