Bridging the Gap in Optical Coupling: Mode Converter Design as a Service by Photonect
Photonect introduced a SiO₂-based mode converter, designed directly into the chip layout as part of the foundry fabrication process. These mode converters are permanent, passive optical structures that act as a transitional waveguide—matching the mode size and profile between the fiber and the on-chip waveguide, dramatically reducing coupling loss.

VR Just Got 10X More Realistic: How Photonic Chips Are Replacing GPUs
Virtual Reality (VR) has pushed GPUs to their limits. High latency, excessive power consumption, and processing inefficiencies are bottlenecks preventing the next leap in immersive experiences. Photonic chips, which process data using light instead of electricity, are emerging as a superior alternative.Â

Optical Transceivers Explained: The Backbone of Modern Data Networks!
An optical transceiver is a device that transmits and receives optical signals, converting data between electrical and optical formats. Unlike traditional copper-based connections, optical transceivers use light to send data over fiber, allowing for higher bandwidth and longer transmission distances.Â
