GigOptix transceiver program gets US funding
Keywords:photonic polymer transceiver? funding? TFPS? modulator?
GigOptix hopes to qualify its Thin Film Polymer on Silicon (TFPS) modulators for military use. The company plans to use the grant to design and test the second iteration of its integrated driver with the polymer optical modulator on a standard BiCMOS wafer and to complete the integration of the receiver side on separate chips. The technology is meant for next-generation 400Gb/s optical communication systems.
The federal funding is meant to discover faster and more energy efficient power and communications systems to help the US military maintain its edge in communications technology.
