Optical communication specialist Korea Advanced Materials announced on the 8th that it successfully concluded its participation in 'OFC 2025,' the world's largest optical communication exhibition.
At this exhibition, Korea Advanced Materials showcased its QKD (Quantum Key Distribution) interferometer and PPLN (Periodically Poled Lithium Niobate)-based SPDC (Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion) optical devices, receiving recognition for further strengthening its competitiveness in the global optical communication and quantum security solution markets.
With the rapid advancement of AI and quantum internet technologies, demand for these technologies has significantly increased in related industries, including data centers. Korea Advanced Materials attracted industry attention by unveiling innovative solutions aligned with these market trends.
In particular, the QKD interferometer enables ultra-high-speed and highly reliable cryptographic key distribution technology, earning high potential for use in security-critical fields such as finance, defense, and data centers. Additionally, the PPLN SPDC-based optical device converts light passing through the nonlinear medium of the material into two photons with lower energy, creating photons with quantum entanglement properties. This technology is regarded as a core technology for quantum communication, quantum internet, quantum teleportation, and quantum computing.
During the exhibition, Korea Advanced Materials held numerous meetings with major global companies to discuss product adoption and technical cooperation plans. Overseas telecommunications companies, data center operators, and research institutions working on AI and quantum internet infrastructure expressed strong interest in Korea Advanced Materials' technological capabilities.
A representative from Korea Advanced Materials stated, “Amid the growth of the AI and quantum internet markets, we felt a distinctly different atmosphere compared to last year. With numerous product inquiries received at OFC 2025, we will strengthen cooperation with overseas companies and expand our presence in the global optical communication market.”
Meanwhile, OFC 2025 was held from April 1 to April 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, USA. Over 600 optical communication and network-related companies worldwide participated to share the latest technologies and trends.
