About Nanlitai
About Nantong Nanlitai
Founded in 2023 and incubated under a major program of the Yangtze River Delta National Technology Innovation Center. Technology originates from Nankai University.
Our founders and team combine deep research expertise in thin-film lithium niobate with extensive industry experience in telecommunications and semiconductors — achieving a tight integration of technology and business.
R&D and production are led by master's- and PhD-level photonics specialists, working alongside partners in optical communications and sensing. We develop thin-film lithium niobate electro-optic modulator chips for diverse application scenarios. Backed by long-standing foundry partners and our own automated test lines, we deliver end-to-end capability — from R&D validation to volume production.
Growth has been backed by continuous capital support — Pre-A in 2024, Series A in 2026. The company has been recognized under Jiangsu's "Double Innovation Talent" and Nantong's "Jianghai Elite" programs, recognized as a National-level Sci-Tech SME, and certified to ISO 9001.
