Accelerate InP-based PIC design and production
It has been announced by Synopsys that, in conjunction with the American Institute for Manufacturing Integrated Photonics (AIM Photonics), Infinera's process design kit (PDK) is now available for Synopsys' OptSim Circuit tool. The addition of the Infinera PDK to OptSim Circuit enables users to schematically capture, simulate, and verify indium phosphide (InP)-based photonic integrated circuit (PIC) designs with Infinera's PDK building blocks.
Spearheading the autonomous driving revolution
At the recent electronica exhibition, Electronic Specifier Editor Joe Bush caught up with Chris Jacobs, Vice President, Autonomous Transportation & Safety at Analog Devices (ADI), to find out what technologies the company are focusing on in its drive towards the next level of autonomous driving.
Precision drying: A critical step in wet process cleaning
Cleaning, an integral part of many manufacturing and maintenance processes is often critical to the performance of a broad range of technologies in the semiconductor, defence, MEMS, photonics and biotech industries. In this case, ‘cleaning’ refers to the use of agents such as solvents, acids or bases to remove unwanted particulates and other contaminates from products ranging from optics to semiconductor and electronic devices.
Synopsys and SMART Photonics Expand InP-Based PIC Design Automation
Synopsys and SMART Photonics announce a new, production-ready process design kit based on SMART Photonics' Indium Phosphide process is now available in Synopsys' OptSim Circuit tool to support InP-based photonic integrated circuit design and simulation. Synopsys' PIC Design Suite, which comprises OptSim Circuit and OptoDesigner tools, provides a seamless PIC design flow from idea to manufacturing from a single solutions provider. The addition of ...
Laser diode module for machine vision solutions
In addition to cameras, the high-growth market of machine vision requires ever more complex forms of illumination, IMM Photonics has presented the laser diode module series ilumVISION as a solution for demanding illumination needs. The new laser diode module with homogeneous line can be applied, in particular, wherever the highest possible level of even illumination is called for.
SSL technology integration is transforming automotive lighting
Whereas SSL technologies represented 57% of automotive lighting value in 2017, this share is likely to reach an impressive 85% by 2023. According to the market research and strategy consulting company, Yole, the automotive lighting market totalled $27.4bn in 2017 and is expected to reach $37.3bn in 2023 at a 5.3% CAGR during this period.

Digital tiles turn bedroom walls into cinema screens
A team of European scientists have developed a set of digital, ceramic tiles that can change colour, pattern, or play videos with a connected smartphone or tablet, turning a bedroom wall or ceiling into a giant cinema screen.
Construction of electronics innovation centre hits milestone
Torbay’s £8m Electronics and Photonics Innovation Centre (EPIC) has achieved another milestone as it enters next phase of construction. EPIC will build on the strengths of the hi tech sector in Torbay and provide a centre of excellence for photonics and electronics businesses across the South West.
Patrolling robots to destroy petrol plant explosions
Autonomous robots fitted with tiny chemical sensors that listen to the ‘sounds’ coming off gases will instantly detect gas leaks in petrochemical plants and pipelines to dramatically improve disaster responses.The risk of a petrol plant explosion or a potential disaster on an oil refinery could be dramatically reduced thanks to a new generation of tiny chemical sensors that use light and sound to ‘listen to’ gas leaks.
