Leti Advance Enables More Efficient Optoelectronics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
GRENOBLE, France, Oct. 27, 2010 — CEA-Leti, a European research and development institute in the field of silicon photonics technology, announced that it has demonstrated the efficient integration of silicon photonic devices with fully complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible plasmonic optical waveguides. This new capability sets the stage for the fabrication of smaller, faster and more efficient optoelectronic interfaces, which could ultimately allow the development of significantly higher performing sensors, computer chips and other electronic components. Waveguides, including optical fibers,...Read full article

    Glossary
    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
    nanotechnology
    The use of atoms, molecules and molecular-scale structures to enhance existing technology and develop new materials and devices. The goal of this technology is to manipulate atomic and molecular particles to create devices that are thousands of times smaller and faster than those of the current microtechnologies.
    optical communications
    The transmission and reception of information by optical devices and sensors.
    optoelectronics
    Optoelectronics is a branch of electronics that focuses on the study and application of devices and systems that use light and its interactions with different materials. The term "optoelectronics" is a combination of "optics" and "electronics," reflecting the interdisciplinary nature of this field. Optoelectronic devices convert electrical signals into optical signals or vice versa, making them crucial in various technologies. Some key components and applications of optoelectronics include: ...
