The IEEE Photonics Society and the European Photonics Industry Consortium (EPIC) have entered into an agreement to promote joint activities, cross-disciplinary technical dissemination and cooperative programs between membership bodies.
Could indium phosphide photonic integration be key to the ongoing development of high-performance coherent optics?
A wide range of cloud and video applications, together with the increased access speeds enabled by 5G, DAA, and next-generation PON, are driving the need for ever more optical bandwidth. To deliver this bandwidth, optical vendors are developing a broad range of coherent optical transceivers addressing different segments of the market, each with its own set of design considerations.
Optoscribe has launched a monolithic glass chip for low-loss coupling to silicon photonics (SiPh) grating couplers.
Hitachi High-Tech is to acquire VLC Photonics, making it a subsidiary company through which it will continue to provide photonic integrated circuit (PIC) engineering services.
