It has been announced by Imec, the research and innovation hub, that Niels Verellen, one of its young scientists, has been awarded an ERC Starting Grant. The grant of €1.5m (for five years) will be used to enable high resolution, fast, robust, zero-maintenance, inexpensive and ultra compact microscopy technology based on on-chip photonics and CMOS image sensors.

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, together with Tampere University of Technology (TUT), has accelerated the development and commercialisation of silicon photonics products as part of the renewal of the Finnish electronics industry. With the help of silicon photonics, companies can develop increasingly compact, more efficient and more affordable products, where optical signals are used for such purposes as precise measuring, laser imaging ...

A new report prepared by the joint European Commission–European Investment Bank (EIB) and InnovFin Advisory has found that companies in the photonic and micro-electronic sectors do not have access to financing when they most need it: in their early-stage and growth-stage, money is rarely available to bring new technological applications to the market.

MIT researchers have developed novel photography optics that capture images based on the timing of reflecting light inside the optics, instead of the traditional approach that relies on the arrangement of optical components. These new principles, the researchers say, open doors to new capabilities for time- or depth-sensitive cameras, which are not possible with conventional photography optics.

It has been announced that the Centre for Process Innovation (CPI) is working as part of a consortium to improve airtight bonding in OLED lighting for aerospace and defence applications. CPI is working on the project with lead partner Oxford Lasers, alongside Glass Technology Services, Coherent Scotland, Heriot Watt University, Gooch & Housego, and Leonardo MW.

It has been announced by Leti, that they have a new collaboration and five year partnership agreement, to drive the research and development of advanced engineered substrates, including SOI and beyond. This agreement brings the Leti-Soitec partnership to a new dimension and includes the launch of a prototyping hub associating equipment partners to pioneer with new materials.

The new F-712.PM1 high speed optical power meter from precision photonics alignment manufacturer PI (Physik Instrumente) converts optical signals and currents of photodiodes into a high resolution, logarithmic analog voltage signal.Its high bandwidth of 20kHz enables faster optical alignment, when used in conjunction with PI’s high speed FMPA photonics alignment systems for SiP (Silicon Photonics) applications.

A single carrier wireless link travelling at a 100 Gb/s data rate has been demonstrated by Tektronix and IEMN, a major French research laboratory. This demonstration uses advanced data coding, THz photonics and wideband and linear devices to enable ultra-fast wireless connections in the 252 - 325GHz band per the recently published IEEE 802.15.3d standard.

Leti has announced its annual flagship event, Leti Innovation Days, 4th to 5th July in Grenoble.This year, the institute will address how microelectronics, Leti’s core activities, are empowering technological revolutions within industry, changing our daily lives in ways that will shape tomorrow’s global, post-modern society – in other words, how humans interact, commute, consume and much more.

“The MEMS pressure sensor market will grow by 3.8% per year, reaching a value of $2bn in 2023,”announcedYole Développement (Yole)in its new MEMS & Sensors report:MEMS Pressure Sensor Market & Technologies.Pressure sensors are used in a wide variety of applications and the market growth is very variable depending on the application.
