1 Mio € grant for Pixel Photonics

The deep-tech startup Pixel Photonics located at CeNTech receives a grant of €1 Mio from the German Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) for Breakthrough Innovation (SPRIND) to further develop its waveguide-integrated superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (WI-SNSPDs) for multi-mode detection. This development represents a technological breakthrough in ultra-precise photon detection and enables new applications in fields such as microscopy, diagnostics and laser communication. Pixel Photonics GmbH was found in 2021 as a spin-off from the University of Münster to commercialize highly scalable single-photon detectors.
