More than 145 people from academia and industry attended a workshop on plasma processing presented recently by Plasma-Therm at National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Hsinchu, Taiwan. The day-long workshop drew participants from more than 18 companies, as well as students and researchers from seven universities and research institutes in the region. The attendees represented a range of academic disciplines and industrial concerns involved in rese...

M/A-COM Technology Solutions will showcase its complete and robust portfolio of laser diodes, laser drivers, CDRs, detectors and TIAs covering FTTx to 100G and beyond at CIOE (China International Optoelectronics Exhibition) 2015, 31st August to 3rd September at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center in Shenzhen, China.

Magnetic direct drives have advantages over classical motorised, spindle-based solutions, particularly in terms of wear and dynamics. Since direct drives largely dispense with mechanical components in the drivetrain, there is less friction/play, and therefore more precision. In addition, their features include relatively large travel ranges, high velocities, longer lifetimes,lower costs and increased energy efficiency.

LASER World of PHOTONICS 2015, held last week (22nd to 25th June) in Munich, has been hailed as a success with around 9% more exhibitors and 10% more visitors than the previous show. The event hosted a total of 1,227 exhibitors, over 30,000 visitors and approximately 3,500 participants in more than 2,700 lectures at the World of Photonics Congress.

Imec and its partners announced that they have successfully completed a three-year programme (2012-2015) to leverage a variety of silicon photonics technologies by making them accessible for industry and academia worldwide. Within the ESSenTIAL programme, funded by the European Commission, imec has worked closely with CEA-LETI, Tyndall Institute, VTT, IHP, TNO and CMC to develop advanced multi-project-wafer services as well as packaging services ...

For the first time in Europe Physik Instrumente presented positioning systems with air bearing technology at the LASER World of Photonics conference.

The microprocessor inside a computer is a single multipurpose chip that has revolutionised people’s life, allowing them to use one machine to surf the web, check emails and keep track of finances. Now, researchers from the University of Bristol and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT), have pulled off the same feat for light in the quantum world by developing an optical chip that can process photons in an infinite number of ways.

Quantum technology based on light has great potential for radical information technology based on photonic circuits. Up to now, the photons in quantum photonic circuits have behaved in the same way whether they moved forward or backward in a photonic channel. This has limited the ability to control the photons and thus build complex circuits for photonic quantum computers.

Part of a 1929 prediction by physicist Hermann Weyl - of a kind of massless particle that features a singular point in its energy spectrum called the ‘Weyl point’ - has finally been confirmed by direct observation for the first time, says an international team of physicists led by researchers at MIT. The finding could lead to new kinds of high-power single-mode lasers and other optical devices, the team says.

The Arbeitsgruppe Marktforschung Photonik [Photonics Market Research Work Group] in which the industry associations SPECTARIS, VDMA and ZVEI are represented expects a solid growth of 4% for the German photonics production in 2014.
