A team of researchers from the George Washington University and University of California, Los Angeles, have created and demonstrated a photonic digital to analog converter without leaving the optical domain.
Rockley Photonics has closed $65m of growth capital, both from new private funds and follow-on existing investor Morningside Ventures.
Optoscribe has launched a monolithic glass chip for low-loss coupling to silicon photonics (SiPh) grating couplers.
This paper describes how silicon photonic (SiPh) opto-electronic integration and packaging, with its improved RF performance, is designed to enable next-generation coherent transmission beyond 100Gbaud and provide network operators with the ability to avoid “half-step” capacity upgrades and allow them the full step upgrades they need without sacrificing reach or stranding network bandwidth when migrating from current-generation solutions.
A team of researchers from the University of Southampton's Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) have demonstrated the first all-silicon optical transmitter at 100Gb/s and beyond without the use of digital signal processing (DSP).
Technology research institute, CEA-Leti has demonstrated a fully packaged CWDM optical transceiver module with data transfer of 100Gb/s per fibre.
Silicon photonics foundry service provider, CompoundTek has expanded to open a silicon photonics test facility in Singapore.
AOI is demonstrating the feasibility of its silicon photonics platform for OBO requirements.
Molex Ventures is making a strategic investment and collaboration between the Molex Optical Solutions Group and Elenion Technologies in order to jointly develop, manufacture and promote silicon photonic-based product solutions.

The unique challenges brought by the pandemic and modern technology are driving significant and varied changes worldwide in how cable television network operators use technology.
Broadband networks are undeniably at peak demand, with the current global crisis providing the industry with its own ‘new normal’, with consumer’s altered perception of ‘normal’ bandwidth levels.
Complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) technology has come a long way since its invention in 1963 by Frank Wanlass during his time employed at Fairchild semiconductor.
While there has long been a recognised need for fair and reliable connectivity for all, the current pandemic has accelerated the urgency at which this must take place.
