Boosting the efficiency of data transfer
Modulators are the backbone of telecommunication. They convert electric signals into light pulses. The research team led by Rachel Grange has developed a manufacturing process based on lithium niobate. The modulators are fast, energy-efficient and so small that they even fit on a chip.

ETH spin-?????offs: facts and figures
Since 1996, 471 spin-?????offs have been founded at ETH Zurich. ETH transfer, the technology transfer office at ETH Zurich, supports recognized ETH spin-?????offs in the founding process and in their first years of operation.
With the help of the Pioneer Fellowship Programme, funded by the ETH Foundation, young researchers can develop innovative products and services based on their scientific work at ETH Zurich. A Pioneer Fellowship is awarded to young ETH entrepreneurial minds intending to develop a highly innovative product or service to be exploited commercially and/or for the benefit of society.
