Keely Portway looks at what the current semiconductor shortage could mean for telecoms in 2022
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.
Newly formed pan-European photonics digital innovation hub, PhotonHub Europe has received €19m from the EU’s investment programme.
Silicon photonics foundry service provider, CompoundTek has expanded to open a silicon photonics test facility in Singapore.
