Sealicon engineers athermal SWG metamaterial photonic integrated circuits — delivering terabit-scale bandwidth through JAX inverse design.
How Plover works
Follow the photon
Thermal Robustness
Zero thermal drift
SWG athermal metamaterial waveguides cancel silicon's thermo-optic coefficient across −40°C to +85°C — zero heaters, zero power overhead.
Inverse Design
AI-optimised geometry
Kempii Engine solves the adjoint EM problem with JAX autodiff, discovering non-intuitive geometries that outperform hand-tuned designs by up to 3 dB.
Scale
1.6 Tbps per fibre
16-channel WDM-ready architecture with <1.5 dB per-channel insertion loss. Drop-in compatible with standard 400ZR coherent optics.
