Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Jul. 17, 2009 — The Institute of Microelectronics (IME), a research institute of Singapore’s Agency for Science, Technology and Research, and Bell Labs, Alcatel-Lucent’s research arm, recently signed a research collaboration agreement to jointly develop advanced photonics technology for next-generation cost-effective high data-rate communication networks. I got in touch with IME, to find out more about the low cost integrated silicon-based photonics devices and improved processes that will be built under the new collaboration. According to the IME spokesperson, the ultimate aim of silicon photonics...Read full article
