Photonics

Photonics is the marriage of optics and electronics.  Photonics transfer data with photons rather than electrons, operating faster and with greater functionality.

In our phones, IoT devices, and wearables – even biomedical devices – tiny photonic chips exceed the speed of traditional electronics. 

Many electronic components are being replaced by smaller and faster photonic components. For example, we’re seeing chips used to sense safety issues in buildings.

Photonics are found in our cameras, our computers and TV screens, the lighting in our cars, and even in applications for intracoronary imaging and sensing.  They drive the performance in Virtual/Augmented Reality devices and are found in Quantum computing, Solar Energy,and Photovoltaics.

To remain competitive, companies will embrace heterogeneous integration – the integration on a single device substrate of different component technologies – and take advantage of the speed and performance of photonic chips. Transfer printed photonic chips have less packaging, are more efficient – with a high throughput rate per print cycle. They come at a much lower cost than a collection of separate optical and electronic components.

MedTech Solutions

In-vivo data is collected directly from living tissue using an implanted device or a device worn on the skin. The miniaturization of the chips, plus the heterogeneous integration of sensors, power, and RFID chips, has expanded the possibilities for healthcare applications.

In-vivo biosensors are designed to enable continuous and real-time monitoring of target metabolites in biological systems, which provide communications into and out of the cell.

As more and more patients rely on data transmission from wearables and cellphones to monitor their health, our technology delivers biomedical x-chips to capture and transmit that data.
