The second round of funding included Applied Ventures ITIC Innovation Fund, a fund jointly created by Applied Ventures and Industrial Technology Investment Corporation (ITIC)-Taiwan.
A team of researchers from the George Washington University and University of California, Los Angeles, have created and demonstrated a photonic digital to analog converter without leaving the optical domain.
Optoscribe has launched a monolithic glass chip for low-loss coupling to silicon photonics (SiPh) grating couplers.
This paper describes how silicon photonic (SiPh) opto-electronic integration and packaging, with its improved RF performance, is designed to enable next-generation coherent transmission beyond 100Gbaud and provide network operators with the ability to avoid “half-step” capacity upgrades and allow them the full step upgrades they need without sacrificing reach or stranding network bandwidth when migrating from current-generation solutions.
A team of researchers from the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have demonstrated the first all-silicon optical transmitter at 100Gb/s and beyond without the use of digital signal processing (DSP).
Technology research institute, CEA-Leti has demonstrated a fully packaged CWDM optical transceiver module with data transfer of 100Gb/s per fibre.
Silicon photonics foundry service provider, CompoundTek has expanded to open a silicon photonics test facility in Singapore.
AOI is demonstrating the feasibility of its silicon photonics platform for OBO requirements.
Molex Ventures is making a strategic investment and collaboration between the Molex Optical Solutions Group and Elenion Technologies in order to jointly develop, manufacture and promote silicon photonic-based product solutions.
