BOSTON, Feb. 25 -- The Photonics Center at Boston University Has opened its Integrated Optics Laboratory. According to the Center, the mission of the Integrated Optics Laboratory is to facilitate hybrid integration, device characterization, and measurement of active and passive photonics devices for industrial collaboration and faculty research. The new 2,400-square-foot laboratory, complete with a 400-square-foot Class 100 clean-room, is expected to see significant activity in the development of smart substrates and low-cost hybrid optical component integration.
