Interview with Wlodek Strupinski

30 July, 2026
We talked to Wlodek Strupinski (former VIGO) to take a closer look at the journey and impact of the PhotoGeNIC project.
The interview reflects the project’s progress and achievements, highlighting how the consortium successfully developed and demonstrated VCSEL technology on germanium substrates. This approach has the potential to reduce the use of toxic materials, increase production efficiency through larger wafer sizes, and lower manufacturing costs.
