Start prototyping

A Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) requires the right level of maturity before it can be taken to market. Like any other product, this takes rigorous prototyping and testing. That’s why the PhotonDelta ecosystem has cost-effective solutions for prototyping photonic chips for use in a range of devices. Why is prototyping so important for photonic chips?

Aluvia Photonics partners with Epiphany Design to accelerate PDK development for MPW services

Enschede, the Netherlands– Aluvia Photonics, the leading supplier of photonic integrated circuits (PIC) on the aluminium oxide platform, proudly announces its collaboration with Epiphany, a photonic design house. Together, the two companies aim to enhance Aluvia Photonics’s Multi-Project Wafer (MPW) services with process design kits (PDK) compatible with multiple design software. This partnership will simplify

Silicon Photonics (SiPh): Piggybacking on Decades of Chip Manufacturing Experience

No technology platform can do it all in integrated photonics. In part III of a four-part series, we take a closer look at a base material that stands out for its seamless integration with existing CMOS infrastructure: silicon. The origin of silicon photonics Capable of propagating high data rates at relatively low power dissipation, light

PITC launches Metrology program to drastically reduce the cost of photonic chips

Integrated photonics will have a sustainable impact on society, but its adoption is hampered by long product development cycles and limited production throughput. Improving and scaling measurement and test technology are crucial for accelerating the uptake of integrated photonics. To address these challenges, the Photonic Integration Technology Center has launched the Metrology program, aimed at
