At NLM Photonics, we\u2019ve collaborated with partners on groundbreaking hybrid organic electro-optic (OEO) modulators \u2014 both silicon-organic hybrid (SOH) and plasmonic-organic hybrid (POH) devices. These modulators feature higher bandwidths and improved energy efficiency through the tight confinement of ordered OEO materials and overall improved materials. For example, POH devices have set high-performance records, including bandwidths >500 GHz and energy efficiency <100 aJ\/bit. We\u2019re excited to share at SPIE Photonics West 2022 our stability testing on the materials behind these groundbreaking results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taking these materials and devices into commercial production means they must withstand demanding thermal and environmental conditions for manufacturing and operation. Dr. Scott R. Hammond<\/a> and the rest of the NLM team spent the last year and a half rigorously testing, measuring, and studying long-term thermal and environmental shelf storage stability of test devices under various conditions relevant to Telecordia GR-468-CORE standards. These tests estimate lifetimes and help define packaging requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Hammond will present his and the team\u2019s findings at SPIE Photonics West 2022 in San Francisco on Wednesday, January 26, 2022, at 4:50pm PST<\/a>. If you\u2019re attending, Dr. Hammond looks forward to your questions. The full paper will be released after the talk. Other NLM team members \u2014 CSO Dr. Lewis E. Johnson<\/a>, CEO Gerard Zytnicki<\/a>, and VP of Corporate Development David Sparks<\/a> \u2014 will be in attendance, and we hope to see you there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo: Dr. Scott R.
