The importance of mode field matching in PIC design

May 22nd 2025  When designing photonic integrated circuits (PICs), it is tempting to focus purely on internal optical performance. However, a successful PIC design must also consider how the chip will be connected to the outside world. In this second part of PHIX’s...

PHIX builds series of PIXAPP designed PIC modules

This PIXAPP commercial prototype package involved the assembly of a silicon photonics integrated circuit (PIC) onto an electronic printed circuit board that has an integrated thermo-electric cooler (TEC) mounted below it. For ease of assembly, the optical fiber array...
