As PIC transitions from design to production, high-performance testing plays a key role in reducing the cost of testing (COT), increasing wafers per hour (WPH), optimizing processes, and enhancing overall manufacturing efficiency. These cost-efficiency factors are critical to ensuring a successful shift to production. At next week’s EPIC summit, I will share EXFO’s insights and experiences in high-performance PIC testing. I look forward to seeing you there!

🚀 Innovative Quantum Sensors: RaQuEl Project Successfully Completed! We’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of the RaQuEl research project, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF)! Together with our partners duotec group, Quantum Technologies GmbH, FH Münster, and Leipzig University, we developed a groundbreaking quantum sensor using NV centers in diamond for precise current and magnetic field measurements. Highlights of our innovation: 🔍 High Sensitivity: Leveraging quantum effects with nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamond eliminating the need of cryogenic temperatures and microwaves 📡 All-optical sensor head: Operates at room temperature, ensuring galvanic isolation with strict optical separation of electronics form sensor head, enabling use in harsh environments like high voltage or aggressive media. ✔️ Proven performance: Ensuring robustness and galvanic isolation with strict optical separation of electronics form sensor head, enabling use in harsh environments like high voltage or aggressive media. A huge thank you to all partners for their expertise and collaboration, and to the BMBF for supporting this project under the “Quantum Technologies – from Fundamentals to the Market” program, as well as the VDI TZ project management agency in Düsseldorf. We’re excited to see how these advancements will shape the future! 💡 #Quantum #Elmos #AnalogMixedSignalExperts #InnovationMatters #TeamElmos #Automotive #Semiconductor

Evatec’s Principal Scientist, Dr. Stephan Waldner, will present a poster on the design, manufacturing, and characterization of multilayer mirrors based on magnetron sputtered quantized nanolaminates at the #SPIE Laser Damage Conference in San Ramon, US, on October 8, 2024, at 11:00 AM.      Dr. Waldner will compare mirrors with and without quantized nanolaminates (QNL) designed for the wavelength of 1030nm. The designs are either standard quarter wave stacks or optimized to reduce the electric field in the higher index layers. The SiO2-Ta2O5 QNL and standard high-low materials (Ta2O5 and SiO2) are deposited on a Evatec CLUSTERLINE® 200 BPM magnetron sputter tool. The results show that QNL samples with optimized electric field have an improved damage threshold compared to standard mirrors and a commercial ion beam coated fs-mirror.      Come and listen to explore these advancements in nanolaminate mirror technology!   #TheThinfilmPowerhouse #shapingthefuture #Research #Innovation #Nanotechnology #Optics #Photonics #ScientificPresentation #Evatec

The commercialisation of optical components essential for future fusion facilities is being advanced with $1.15 million from the US Department of Energy. The money will be awarded to a partnership between the University of Rochester and Sydor Technologies to develop mid-scale plasma electrode Pockels cell (mPEC) technology, enabling high-power, high-energy modular lasers necessary to scale inertial fusion.
