IEEE Study Describes Polymer Waveguides for Reliable, High-Capacity Optical Communication

Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology requires reliable laser sources, either integrated or external, for operation. Since integrated laser sources are associated with reliability challenges, researchers are increasingly exploring CPO systems with external sources. Recently, polymer waveguides fabricated on glass-epoxy substrates have emerged as a reliable solution for transmitting laser signals from external sources to photonic circuits. Researchers from Japan have now demonstrated the suitability of these waveguides for use in CPO systems.

Co-packaged optics (CPO) technology can integrate photonic integrated circuits (PICs) with electronic integrated circuits (EICs) like CPUs and GPUs on a single platform. This advanced technology … Read More → "IEEE Study Describes Polymer Waveguides for Reliable, High-Capacity Optical Communication"

Imec and Ghent University present a fully-integrated, single-chip microwave photonics system for compact and versatile signal processing

LEUVEN (Belgium), 5 June, 2025— This month, the Photonics Research Group
and IDlab, two imec research groups at Ghent University, and imec, a
world-leading research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital
technologies, have published the demonstration of a fully-integrated
single-chip microwave photonics system, combining optical and microwave
signal processing on a single silicon chip. The chip integrates
high-speed modulators, optical filters, photodetectors, as well as
transfer-printed lasers, making it a compact, self-contained and
programmable solution for high-frequency signal processing. This
breakthrough can replace bulky and power-hungry components, enabling
faster wireless … Read More → "Imec and Ghent University present a fully-integrated, single-chip microwave photonics system for compact and versatile signal processing"
