Mid-infrared (MIR) photonic integrated circuits are emerging as a key technology for applications ranging from environmental monitoring and medical diagnostics to defense and industrial process control. The MIR spectral region, often referred to as the molecular “fingerprint” region, exhibits strong absorption features… Read More

Heads Up! Photonics West is Just Around the Corner
As I write about integrated photonics I continue to hear from long-time experts in the field who lament that integrated photonics has been around for decades and other than telecom/datacom, it seems to never be a mainstream technology. It’s hard to argue that this time around it will be different as those people have lived through… Read More
