Photonic chips with quantum lasers are finally being built without redesigning the whole system These lasers work directly on silicon and still survive high heat for over six years University of ...

Slight temperature changes, imperceptible manufacturing imperfections, and heat generated by their own components can completely ruin an entire quantum quantum system-on-chip. Silicon photonics could ...

Technology promises to drive wider use of photonics in computers and other electronic devices Using standard silicon manufacturing processes, researchers from Intel (Santa Clara, CA) and the ...

The rapid rise of photonic chips, which use light to process data instead of electrons, may offer faster means to transmit data. But scaling such chips has been held back by one stubborn issue: ...

Lasers that are fabricated directly onto silicon photonic chips offer several advantages over external laser sources, such as greater scalability. Furthermore, photonic chips with these ...

Engineers are turning what used to be a bulky optics bench into something that fits on the tip of a finger, and the latest photonic chips go a step further by splitting a single laser into a ...

United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC), the giant Taiwan-headquartered chip foundry, has signed a licensing deal to ...

Data center interconnect design and manufacturing startup OpenLight Photonics Inc. says it wants to accelerate the transition to silicon photonics after spinning out of its parent company Synopsys Inc ...

In a milestone for scalable quantum technologies, scientists from Boston University, UC Berkeley, and Northwestern University have reported the world’s first electronic–photonic–quantum system on a ...
