Department of Defense Project Call
|
AIM Photonics announces a Government directed/interest project call to develop a prototype focal plane array (FPA) cryogenic integrated photonic data-link. Currently, many high performance military sensing applications demand high sensitivity, very large dynamic ranges, high resolution, and fast data rates. Conventional electronic readout integrated circuit (ROIC) approaches have limited data-rate capabilities for transmitting data from the cryogenically cooled sensor to the off-board electronics required to process and display the data.
Current cryogenic systems use large numbers of electronic data transmission lines passing from the sensor in the dewar to external data cable connections, causing significant thermal conduction paths between the cold space of the dewar and the outside environment.
The objective of this project is to design, fabricate, and test an integrated photonic cryogenic optical data-link, manufactured on the AIM photonics standard process with adherence to the AIM Photonics design guide. The design should be compatible with participating DoD industry partner’s Si CMOS readout integrated circuits (ROIC) and their cryogenic vacuum dewars.

Integrated Photonics Manufacturing IPSR Spring 2017 Meeting
|
|
|
It is an exciting time for the technology transition from integrated electronics to integrated photonics. The opportunity is now!
Gaps in the technology supply chain exist in the systems that will benefit most from integrated photonics. Speakers at the spring road-map meeting represent their companies’ visions for the supply chain and anticipate solutions in the areas of test, assembly, and packaging.
The Integrated Photonics Systems Road-map (IPSR) represents a consortium of 254 organizations. The third day of the March meeting will address ways small and medium-sized businesses with latent competencies in electronics and photonics can add value to the supply chain.
AIM Academy is working closely with government agencies, including the Department of Defense, the National Science Foundation’s Advanced Technology Education Program, the National Institute of Standard and Technology’s local and national Manufacturing Extension Partnerships, as well as state officials and legislators.
