For decades, semiconductor progress trained us to think about scaling in a particular way. Make the fundamental building ...

Researchers have shown that 3D laser printing can be used to fabricate a high-quality, complex polymer optical device directly on the end of an optical fiber. This type of micro-optical device—which ...

As quantum and photonics technologies continue to evolve, the need for precise optical alignment under cryogenic conditions is becoming increasingly critical.

Commercialization has started for network switches based on co-packaged optics (CPO), which are capable of routing signals at terabits per second speeds, but manufacturing challenges remain regarding ...

Data centers are undergoing a dramatic transformation to reduce the power consumption of high-speed data transmissions by 70% or more with co-packaged optics. By moving optical transceivers from the ...

The Roman Space Telescope is designed to directly image exoplanets using complex opto-mechanical systems developed by the Max ...
