JOEL WILLIAMS, NEWS EDITOR [email protected]ENGLEWOOD, Colo., May 23, 2024 — Optical communications technology company Lightwave Logic has launched a collaboration with Advanced Micro Foundry (AMF) to develop polymer slot modulators utilizing AMF's silicon photonics platform. The agreement comes amid an ongoing collaboration over the past year in which the companies have teamed to develop electro-optic polymer slot modulators using AMF's standard manufacturing process flow on 200-mm wafers. As part of the optical transmit engine inside a pluggable optical transceiver, optical modulators use fiber optic cables to modulate laser light used for data transmission....Read full articleRelated content from Photonics MediaArticlesPsiQuantum Expands Development Agreement: Week in Brief: 05/05/23Quantum technology company PsiQuantum expanded its development agreement with SkyWater Technology and its plan to produce silicon photonic chips that will become part of future quantum computing...Photonics.com 5/5/2023Viewpointsystem, Printoptix Receive €2.5M: Week in Brief: 08/25/23Thermo Fisher Scientific completed the acquisition of CorEvitas LLC, a provider of regulatory-grade, real-world evidence for approved medical treatments and therapies, for $912.5 million in cash....Photonics.com 8/25/2023AIM Photonics to Offer Optoelectronic Testing ServicesAIM Photonics has launched its new Opto-electronic Testing Services, which the institute said features a full suite of advanced tools for testing photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and conventional...Photonics Spectra August 2023 IssueRockley Photonics Completes Financial Restructure: Week in Brief: 06/09/23Semiconductor technology companies STMicroelectronics and Sanan Optoelectronics signed an agreement to create a 200-mm silicon carbide device manufacturing joint venture in Chongqing, China.
