Teradyne has launched an opto-electric automated test platform for high-volume silicon photonics (SiPh) and co-packaged optics (CPO). Photon 100  enables high-throughput, automated testing across all key manufacturing stages, including wafer, optical engine, and co-packaged module insertions. Features: • Integrated Optical & Electrical Instrumentation: Combines advanced optical and electrical test capabilities. • Scalable for High-Volume Manufacturing: Designed to support the demands ...

Photon Bridge, the Dutch photonics IC specialist, has adopted CPFC, the Canadian Photonics Fabrication Centre, as the InP laser foundry partner for its multi-wavelength external laser sources (ELS). CPFC is a commercial-scale, pure-play InP photonics wafer foundry within the National Research Council of Canada with over 20 years of experience in manufacturing high-power, high-reliability lasers for optical communications and sensing. ...

An event for semiconductor, photonics and embedded systems industries with a program designed to drive national strategy and commercial growth.  

NLM Photonics of Seattle is sampling its 1.6T and 3.2T silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to select customers. The 1.6T DR8 PIC built with NLM’s patented Selerion-HTX, an organic material, achieves an order-of-magnitude better performance than traditional silicon photonics, claims NLM. The 1.6T and 3.2T PICs were fabricated on Advanced Micro Foundry’s (AMF) 200 mm GP O-band silicon ...

Photon Bridge progressing its photonics platform, Meta's CEO defending his company's alleged addictive practices, and a study on how semiconductor seed crystals could be produced commercially in orbit...

Photon Bridge, the Dutch photonics specialist, has announced wafer-scale validation of its heterogeneous photonics platform for multi-wavelength light engines. The company demonstrated single-channel output power exceeding 30 mW at the silicon chip edge facets in continuous-wave operation at room temperature. The demonstrated power levels meet per-channel requirements for next-generation 1.6T and 3.2T co-packaged optical engines, enabling reduced fibre count and ...

Ligebtec and X-Fab are to jointly bring X-Fab’s XPH90 Silicon Photonics (SOI) technology to market through its integration in Ligentec’s broader photonics platform portfolio, creating a unified ecosystem spanning both SOI and established low‑loss SiN technologies. Ligentec will serve as the primary customer interface, providing a streamlined and coherent entry point to both high-bandwidth SOI solutions and its established low-loss ...

The photonic chips contest offers startups the chance to win up to €2M investment and €100K in services. Photonic chip industry accelerator PhotonDelta has announced the second global engineering contest. This year, the competition will focus on communications and computing, imaging, sensing and wireless applications. Last year’s winner was MIT spin-off, Perceptra and the photonic chip-based Raman sensor for real-time ...

Photonic chip industry accelerator PhotonDelta has launched its second global engineering contest in collaboration with Wevolver, the engineering community platform for developing photonic IC applications. The contest builds on the success of last year’s competition which saw MIT spin-off Perceptra triumph with its groundbreaking photonic chip-based Raman sensor for real-time chemical monitoring. Perceptra received €1.2 million in investments from PhotonDelta, ...

Perceptra, the MIT spin-off pioneering photonic chip-based AI-enabled Raman sensors for chemical monitoring, has secured a €1.2 million investment from PhotonDelta, the Dutch photonic chip industry accelerator. The funding will accelerate the development and commercialisation of its next-generation of photonic chip-based Raman sensors. “PhotonDelta’s funding marks a milestone moment in turning our research into a scalable venture,” says CEO Amir ...
