Colored glass remains attractive when broad spectral blocking, stable angular behavior and […]
Cree LED and Promier Products have reached a settlement over a patent infringement dispute involving LED components used in portable lighting, highlighting the growing importance of intellectual property protection as semiconductor and LED technologies become increasingly integrated into lighting applications. Patent Dispute Moves toward Commercial Resolution Cree LED Inc., a Durham, North Carolina-based company under […]
Photonic integrated circuits have moved from a specialist telecom technology into one of the most closely watched segments of the semiconductor industry. As AI training clusters grow from thousands to hundreds of thousands of accelerators, the need for faster, lower-power optical communication has become a central infrastructure challenge. PICs integrate lasers, modulators, waveguides, and photodetectors […]
In a data centre somewhere in northern Virginia, a rack of servers is humming through the evening. The processors inside are unthinkably fast, capable of crunching billions of operations per second. But the real bottleneck is not the chips themselves; it is the wires that connect them. Copper traces, however finely engineered, are reaching their […]
Augmented reality has spent the better part of a decade being the next big thing that always seemed to be just around the corner. Google Glass flickered and faded. Microsoft HoloLens found a home in factories and hospitals but never in living rooms. Magic Leap burned through billions and then quietly pivoted to enterprise. But […]
There is a moment, standing in a hyperscale data centre, when the sheer physicality of the internet becomes impossible to ignore. Racks of servers stretch into the distance, each one packed with processors, memory, and storage. But what really catches the eye – once you look past the blinking lights – is the cabling. Fibre […]
For a long time, quantum technologies felt like a science project with a very long fuse. The hardware was fragile, the experiments were confined to basement labs, and the idea of a market around things like single‑photon sources or quantum‑dot lasers seemed distant. But in 2026, that distance has shrunk considerably. Quantum optoelectronics – the […]
The semiconductor photonics industry is witnessing a strategic realignment as Kyocera Corporation moves to acquire Ushio Inc.’s laser diode business. The transaction reflects the increasing importance of advanced laser technologies in enabling next-generation automotive, augmented reality, and high-performance display applications. Under the agreement, Ushio will establish a new company dedicated to its laser diode operations, which will […]
C-band Pulsed EDFA Market sits at a critical junction where semiconductor photonics meets global data demand. Operating within the 1530 to 1565 nanometre wavelength range, C-band erbium-doped fibre amplifiers (EDFAs) are fundamental to long-haul optical communication systems. Their pulsed variants, in particular, are gaining traction in applications that demand controlled bursts of amplified light rather […]
Attenuated total reflection probes have quietly become essential allies in the fast-paced world of semiconductor fabrication, where every angstrom counts toward higher yields and smaller nodes. Without requiring complicated sample preparation, these fiber-optic or crystal-based sensors use the evanescent wave produced during total internal reflection to yield molecular fingerprints straight from liquids, slurries, or thin […]
