Rockley Photonics has announced that it is demonstrating its in-package-optics platform to select customers and development partners. Rockley has developed the world’s first single-chip L3 routing switch to directly integrate 100G network ports using single-modefibre.Leveraging Rockley OpticsDirecttechnology, this platform is among the first of its kind to integrate high-speed optical interconnect with high-scale CMOS digital and mixed-sign...

University of Adelaide researchers have invented a world-first tiny fibre-optic probe that can simultaneously measure temperature and see deep inside the body.The probe may help researchers find better treatments to prevent drug-induced overheating of the brain, and potentially refine thermal treatment for cancers.

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.'Cleaning', in this case, 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.

Rockley Photonics Limited has announced a joint venture with Hengtong Optic-Electric Co., Ltd. to manufacture high performance optical transceiver modules based on its silicon photonics technology.The joint venture (JV) was established based on a $42m co-investment led by Hengtong Optic-Electric, a world leader in the fiber-optic communication industry, and will commercialise Rockley Photonics’ advanced photonics technology for networking a...

Instant diagnosis of major diseases, the eradication of all road accidents, and the creation of 1 million new jobs are some of the benefits that will be generated by the Photonics sector by 2030 according to a new vision paper published by Photonics21.The vision paper ‘Europe’s Age of Light’ sets out a new strategy for the future of European photonics highlighting what could be achieved if this technology is maintained by the EU...

Chronic skin conditions such as acne, Actinic Keratosis, and psoriasis can now betreated in a single 150 minute appointment, thanks to a wearable laser thatblasts the skin with light.French scientists at 'Texinov Medical Textiles', have developed a knitted laser fabric that blaststhe skin with light, giving treatment to enflamed skin or lesions over a 2 and a half hourappointment.

By training young researchers and bridging different fields of research, the COMANDER project has successfully helped shape the future of 5G in favour of fibre-wireless networks.We may not realise it, but the exponential growth in the number of connected devices of all kinds – commonly known as the “Internet of Things” – is progressively driving current infrastructures into a corner.

The latest advance in a new type of optics aimed at improving microscopy started with a game of tennis three years ago.Unwinding after a long day of research in their respective labs, Mooseok Jang (PhD '16) and Yu Horie (who will receive his PhD in June 2018)—at the time, both graduate students at Caltech—met up for a game of tennis at Caltech's Braun Athletic Center courts.

As part of a new partnership, FLIR Systems and Providence Photonics have announced a new Quantitative Optical Gas Imaging (qOGI) technology, which is designed to work exclusively with FLIR GF-Series cameras. Quantitative OGI represents a critical step forward in the world of optical gas imaging because it eliminates the need for secondary sampling devices to quantify gas emissions. How well the system is able to quantify a specific gas is a funct...

A new understanding of why synthetic 2D materials often perform orders of magnitude worse than predicted was reached by teams of researchers led by Penn State. They searched for ways to improve these materials' performance in future electronics, photonics, and memory storage applications.Two-dimensional materials are films only an atom or two thick.
