Open Platform Supports Laser Integration on Silicon PICs
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., June 7, 2022 — Newly launched company OpenLight has introduced the first open silicon photonics platform with integrated lasers. The platform reaches a level of laser integration and scalability that enables accelerated development of high-performance photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in applications including telecom, datacom, lidar, health care, AI, and optical computing. Laser integration has long been a challenge in silicon photonics; adding discrete lasers is costly and labor intensive due to the
