CST Global integrates InP lasers into Imec’s iSiPP

Imec and CST Global of Glasgow, the designer and manufacturer of III-V compound semiconductors for photonics products, have integrated InP distributed feedback (DFB) lasers from CST Global’s InP100 platform into Imec’s integrated silicon photonics platform (iSiPP). Interfaces for hybrid integration of InP DFB lasers and reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers (RSOA) will become available as part ...

Silicone-rubber combined with graphene to make flexible wearable sensors

Researchers at UCLA and the Universities of Waterloo and British Columbia  have combined silicone rubber with ultra-thin lsyers of graphene to make a material for 3D-printed durable, flexible sensors for wearable devices. When the material bends or moves, electrical signals are created by the highly conductive, nanoscale graphene embedded within its engineered honeycomb structure. “Silicone ...
