Europe needs to prioritise photonics to avoid market share losses as seen in the semiconductor industry, states Carlos Lee, EPIC’s director general
The chip shortage is a long term problem for the photonics industry, according to those attending the Electro Optics roundtable on supply chain issues.
Intel's purchase of Tower Semiconductors could advance silicon photonics manufacturing, says Jose Capmany, founder of iPronics Programmable Photonics

Electro Optics is seeking participants for a roundtable discussion on supply chain issues in photonics, including those around importing/exporting to the UK post-Brexit.

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
