Lightium AG, MPI Corporation, and Axiomatic_AI have entered into a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop an intelligent, autonomous, and integrated test solution (IAITS) for photonic devices. The collaboration aims to advance the testing and qualification process of photonic integrated circuit (PIC) devices by combining Axiomatic_AI’s artificial intelligence with MPI Corporation’s industry-leading wafer probing systems and automation software, and leveraging Lightium AG’s advanced testing infrastructure and expertise in ultra-high-speed photonic device measurements. The IAITS platform will automate complex test routines, minimize downtime, and optimize measurement system utilization to speed test cycles and reduce iteration times. The system reduces reliance on manual operation, programming, and debugging — freeing skilled personnel to focus on high-value engineering and strategic and innovation tasks. IAITS will be commercially available as an advanced software add-on package for MPI Corporation’s wafer probing systems. Designed to support both R&D and high-volume production environments, the solution boosts efficiency, precision, and scalability while lowering the total cost of testing and accelerating time-to-market for next-generation PIC devices.
