Imec and Genalyte report disposable silicon photonics biosensor chips
Imec and Genalyte announce that they have successfully developed and produced a set of disposable silicon photonics biosensor chips to be used in Genalyte diagnostic and molecular detection equipment. The chips combine imec’s standard silicon photonic waveguide devices with bio-compatible modifications jointly developed by imec and Genalyte. These chips allow for high levels of multiplexed biosensing due to the high integration level of Si phot...
Major step towards low-power all-optical switching for optical communications
The January issue of the premier scientific magazine Nature Photonics publishes an ultra-small and fast, electrically pumped all-optical memory on a silicon chip with record low power consumption. This result achieved by imec and its associated laboratory INTEC at the Ghent University, paves the way for optical packet switching with drastically reduced overall power consumption in high-speed, high-data rate optical telecommunication systems.
UGent and imec launch silicon photonics spin-off Caliopa
Ghent University (UGent) and imec today announced the creation of Caliopa, a spin-off from their world leading Photonics Research Group. An initial 2 million Euro in funding was raised from Baekeland, Fidimec, PMV-Vinnof, a private investor and the founders. Caliopa will develop and market advanced silicon photonics based optical transceivers for the data and telecommunications markets.
LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011 will present the latest laser material processing techniques
Automobile production, toolmaking, mechanical engineering or photovoltaics production: when there is a need for speed, cleanliness and efficiency, industrial production companies use lasers and laser systems. Ever since the first LASER in 1973, Messe München has devoted a separate exhibition area to the field of “lasers and laser systems for production”. As an international innovation platform, the “production” exhibition segment is aime...
LASER World of PHOTONICS 2011 will present the latest applications in semiconductor production, thin-film technology and sensor technology
As a key basic technology, microelectronics is the foundation for the success of the most important branches of German industry. 50 per cent of all industrial products manufactured in Germany now contain at least one electronic component. 8 out of 10 innovations in automobile construction already stem from the electrical engineering, electronics and IT industries. Optical technologies contribute a great deal to this dynamism: laser-based processe...
