Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of scientific and industrial applications. From creating stupendously accurate clocks ...

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 ...

A new microchip-sized device could dramatically accelerate the future of quantum computing. It controls laser frequencies with extreme precision while using far less power than today’s bulky systems.

A tiny device can control laser light very precisely while using much less power, making it possible to build bigger and ...

Scientists have successfully miniaturized a powerful erbium-based biber laser on a silicon-nitride photonic chip. Since typical erbium-based fiber lasers are large and difficult to scale down, the ...

Schematic diagram of vertical emitting lasing from ordered InGaAs/InP multi-quantum well nanowire arrays. Simultaneous lasing is demonstrated from one same NW array. Inset shows the vertical F-P ...

Based on the company's Quantum Well Intermixing process, INSlam monolithic laser diode modules integrate from 10 to 100 individually addressable lasers on one chip for precise delivery of optical ...

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: ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2023.230140 discusses photonic integrated neuro-synaptic core for convolutional spiking neural network. Brain science and brain-like ...
