The IEEE Photonics Society / Standards Committee recently published a whitepaper on Fiber Attach. Transmission of light between or in and out of any photonic platform normally requires attachment to a fiber that is used as a flexible optical waveguide. An effective fiber attach involves many requirements and metrics that have so far involved decades... Read more →

The digital identity domain is transforming fast with versatile options, especially through biometrics like face, voice, heartbeat, and fingerprint. How can we manage all our digital identities securely and efficiently? And how much we can rely on these? For example, how does a video selfie instantly tell our age? Is it possible to fake our...

Abstract : Artificial intelligence (AI) powered by neural networks has enabled applications in many fields (medicine, finance, autonomous vehicles). Digital implementations of neural networks are limited in speed and energy efficiency. Neuromorphic photonics aims to build processors that use light and photonic device physics to mimic neurons and synapses in the brain for distributed and... Read more →
