WASHINGTON, D.C., April 3, 2017 -- Contrary to the tremendous success story of electronic integration, photonic integration is still in its infancy. One the most serious obstacles it faces is the need ...

Using an innovative photonics topology, researchers developed an integrated microwave filter with ultra-wide dynamic range and low noise. How photonics can provide high-performance RF filtering. The ...

Silicon photonics is rewiring the future of data centers. But engineers need more advanced simulation tools to integrate these light-slinging components with electronics. How silicon photonics ...

While bigger nanowires can improve light confinement and performance, it increases both energy consumption and device footprint -- both of which are considered 'fatal' when it comes to integration.
