Plasma Therm’s Advanced Vacuum division was recently selected by the University of Central Florida to provide enhanced compound semiconductor etch and dielectric deposition capabilities. UCF’s College of Optics and Photonics, provides research facilities for users from universities and industry locally and internationally from a wide range of disciplines.

CEA-Leti today announced the launch of its Silicon Impulse IC design competence centre, a comprehensive IC technology platform offering IC design, advanced intellectual property, emulator and test services along with industrial multi-project wafer shuttles. Established to increase the competitiveness of Leti’s industrial partners, the centre provides immediate access to Leti’s and CEA-List’s advanced IC technologies and systems ...

Scientists from Ghent University and imec have announced a successful demonstration of interaction between light and sound in a nanoscale area. Their findings elucidate the physics of light-matter coupling at these scales, and pave the way for enhanced signal processing on mass-produced silicon photonic chips.

The MOST Cooperation has announced the conference programme for the upcoming seventh MOST Forum on April 21, 2015 in Germany. Conference presentations will examine higher speed rates as well as different physical layers and transceivers. In the area of compliance and quality assurance, presenters will look at virtual prototyping, testing and simulation.

Ophir Photonics has launched the RM9 Radiometer, a sensor for measuring the power of very low level CW or quasi CW sources. The RM9 uses a pyroelectric sensor in conjunction with an 18Hz chopper to measure a wide range of radiation, from UV to deep IR. Unlike other more expensive radiometers, the RM9 is calibrated over the entire range of wavelengths, from 0.15 µm to 12 µm, not just a single wavelength.

At SPIE Photonics West 2015, imec will present a set of snapshot hyperspectral CMOS image sensors featuring spectral filter structures in a mosaic layout, processed per-pixel on 4x4 and 5x5 ‘Bayer-like’ arrays.

Imec, Medtronic, Ghent University and their partners have announced the launch of a project in which they will develop and validate an early-stage Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) detection platform using integrated silicon photonics.

Researchers around the world are working to develop optical chips where light can be controlled with nanostructures. These could be used for future circuits based on the behaviour of photons instead of electrons - that is, photonics instead of electronics. But it has proved to be impossible to achieve perfect photonic nanostructures: by nature they are inevitably imperfect.

Reducing the size of its flat excimer light source into a compact box without compromising on performance, Hamamatsu Photonics has introduced the L12530 EX-mini; a compact light source suitable for R&D work in both cleaning and reforming applications. This all-in-one, lightweight design offers portability, making it suitable for field work.

Two compact CMOS linear image sensors, designed for applications such as position detection, object measurement, rotary encoders and image reading, have been released by Hamamatsu Photonics. TheS11106-10 and S11107-10have been designed for mass production, and aim to offer a favourable performance-to-cost ratio.
