Prototype packages

PHIX has developed several packaging solutions that allow for convenient, quick and affordable prototyping of your first photonic integrated circuits (PICs). They provide a housing with electrical connections, optical interfaces, and thermal management. Hybrid assembly of auxiliary chips is also supported.

PHIX Characterization Package development platform

We encourage the choice for a standard housing. Each of these have characteristics that favor certain chip dimensions and system configurations. However, if you have special requirements, we are happy to design a customized prototype package for you.

More details about the differences between our standard package types can be found in this table (new window).
