Per the article, it stated, “Compared to SWIR edge-emitter lasers (EELs), SWIR VCSELs have ~60% lower power consumption, and the price of a VCSEL is generally much lower (>50%) than an EEL.” I would have thought the cost savings for VCSELs should be much better than 2X compared to EEL, given they can be made using wafer-level scale fabrication and testing. Am I missing something here?

Yesterday, the #photonixFAB consortium announced that it is now open for first prototyping. The objective of this EU-funded project - coordinated by X-FAB - is to establish a European photonics device value chain and initial industrial manufacturing capabilities. According to Youssouf Guerfi, PhD, Project Coordinator for photonixFAB (X-FAB): ”Substantial progress is already being witnessed on photonixFAB, with valuable contributions being made by all of the consortium members. The customer engagement portal is an important milestone in our ongoing journey with this initiative. Using the portal, customers will be able to find the correct partners and start carrying out the preliminary stages of their photonic projects, to be ready to benefit from full-scale production in the future.” ➡ Visit the photonixFAB website for more details: https://lnkd.in/eNRAtqYk Another good read is this article published on eeNews Europe (27 March): https://lnkd.in/e7debX8S Acknowledgements photonixFAB is co-funded by the European Union under grant agreement no. 101111896. The project is supported by the Chips Joint Undertaking and its members, including top-up funding by Belgium, Germany, France, Israel, Italy and the Netherlands. The project is also supported by Switzerland separately. #EUInnovation #ChipsJU #siliconphotonics #photonics

FRENCH LASER DIODE SOLUTIONS RAMPING UP FAST. When AeroDIODE developed their first nanosecond pulsed laser diode driver more than 15 years ago, they couldn’t have predicted how fast the demand would grow for flexible solutions. In 2024, they have a very broad offer of high-speed and low-noise laser diode drivers, fibre-coupled laser diodes, fibre-coupled high-speed modulators, synchronization electronic tools and reliability test solutions. At CLEO Conference 2024, AeroDIODE CTO Adèle Morisset walked me through their range and ex[explained what’s on the horizon. One thing that won’t change – is their mission to offer researchers and entrepreneurs clear pricing, fast delivery and ever smaller devices. We like that approach to business at Optica. AeroDIODE is a multinational company based in Bègles, France (near Bordeaux) plus a production centre in the famous optics and photonics cluster in #Bozeman, Montana. USA. (fun fact: On a per-capita basis, Bozeman, Montana has one of the highest densities of optics companies found anywhere in the United States.) Onward!

Situated in auxiliary chuck locations on the CM300xi and now also on SUMMIT200 and MPS150-SiPh, OptoVue and OptoVue Pro enable #calibrations to be performed in-situ without removing the test wafer to put a #calibration wafer on the chuck. This CalVue feature enables seamless calibrations without operator interaction, resulting in #faster #time to #measurement and #reduced #cost of #test #probing #photonics #photonique #wafers #microelectronics Jérôme PIQUET Olivier DOYEN MB Electronique
