NeoPhotonics Samples High Power Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers and Narrow Linewidth Lasers for Coherent Lidar Transceivers
NeoPhotonics Corporation (NYSE: NPTN), a leading designer and manufacturer of advanced hybrid photonic integrated circuit based modules and subsystems for bandwidth-intensive, high speed communications networks, today announced that it is sampling high power Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) and Narrow Linewidth (NLW) Distributed Feedback Lasers (DFB) lasers for long range automotive Lidar (“light detection and ranging”) applications.
Picosun’s ALD Technology Helps to Fight Climate Change
Picosun’s Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) thin film barrier coating technology offers a solution for eliminating the use of hazardous process gases, sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). By switching to Picosun’s ALD nanolaminate barrier technology it is possible to obtain unmatched barrier performance with extremely thin, pinhole-free films. This also eliminates the need to clean the deposition equipment after every few process runs.
Coronavirus Outbreak Can Drastically Impact the Technology Road Map for 2020, says GlobalData
