• As part of the EU’s Circles of Light program, AMO and RWTH Aachen presented the first Si photonic ring resonator on SOI fabricated with Soft UV-Nanoimprint Lithography (UV-NIL).
• The goal of BOOM, a new EU project, is to develop a new generation of SOI-based photonic components.
• Japan’s SELETE consortium has announced advances in SOI-based optical components, which are expected to eventually replace copper interconnects in LSIs.
