News and BusinessNippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), Intel Corporation (Intel) and Sony Corporation (Sony) are creating a new industry forum, the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (IOWN) global forum. The organisation’s objective is to accelerate the adoption of a new communication infrastructure that will bring together an all-photonics network infrastructure, including silicon photonics, edge computing and […]
Applications and ResearchA collaboration between the Sydney Nano Institute and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD) has for the first time manipulated a light wave, or photonic information, on a silicon chip that retains its overall ‘shape’. The Sydney-Singapore team has for the first time observed ‘soliton’ dynamics on an Ultra-Silicon-Rich Nitride (USRN) device fabricated in […]

Applications and ResearchIn a paper appearing this week in APL Photonics, from the American Institute of Physics (AIP) Publishing, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara describe how the future of silicon-based lasers may be in tiny, atom-like structures called quantum dots. Such lasers could save a lot of energy. Replacing the electronic components that connect […]
