The start-up LumiSync is developing the world's first on-chip 100% photonic oscillator based on a unique technological and instrumental savoir-faire developed for several years at C2N with the strong support of its state-of-the-art cleanroom facilities. The ultra-stable microwave oscillations produced by this nano-component enable data synchronization at the speed of light, unlocking the full potential of next-gen AI, HPC and optical computing, as well as new telecom and aerospace use-cases.

Founded in December 2024 by Giuseppe Modica (CTO) and Rémy Braive (CSO), researchers at C2N, along with Alexis Jonville (CEO), entrepreneur, LumiSync has benefited from CNRS ‘pré-maturation’ funding and CNRS INNOVATION support. The first prototype is now ready for industrial testing. In 2025, LumiSync will seek funding to scale up, aiming for on-field demonstration by 2027.

Lumi-Sync is the 7th start-up to emerge from the research conducted at C2N.
