Silicon photonic grating couplers represent a pivotal element in the integration of optical devices onto chips. They serve as the interface between optical fibres and on-chip waveguides, enabling ...

Researchers have succeeded in making the thinnest ever optical device in the form of a waveguide just three atomic layers thick. The device could lead to the development of higher density ...

Comprised of judiciously engineered microscopic photonic structures with subwavelength features, the concept of metasurface and metamaterials have proven fruitful results in the realm of meta-optics.

Holographic photopolymers can be cast onto and around other optical elements, then patterned with a 3D routed waveguide to form hybrid integrated photonics. While multi-photon initiation can be used ...

A technical paper titled “Low-Loss Integration of High-Density Polymer Waveguides with Silicon Photonics for Co-Packaged Optics” was published by researchers at imec and Ghent University. “Co-Packaged ...

(Nanowerk News) Defying conventional wisdom, researchers have uncovered a novel coupling mechanism involving leaky mode, previously has been considered unsuitable for high-density integration in ...

Engineers have developed the thinnest optical device in the world -- a waveguide that is three layers of atoms thin. The work is a proof of concept for scaling down optical devices to sizes that are ...

How researchers are employing advanced materials and semiconductor techniques to address electro-optical needs. How they developed photonic IC (PIC) circuit elements including power couplers, phase ...

I often wonder if there is something beyond our grasp and perhaps “other-worldly” about elemental Silicon (Si), which is the primary material for most ICs and discrete semiconductors work. Yes, there ...
