Numerous component technologies are in use today to realize the range of passive and active functions needed for optical transmission systems. Many companies hope to provide lower prices and increased ...

Micro molded polymers in optical applications requires careful consideration for clarity, performance, dimensional stability, and the environment in which they’re used.

Moving photonic ICs into the same package as silicon helps improve performance, but lasers remain outside. A new monolithic laser array allows hundreds of colors, each individually software-tunable ...

CPO integrates optical components directly into a package, replacing long copper traces with shorter connections.
