The AIM Photonics MPW: A Highly Accessible Cutting Edge Technology for Rapid Prototyping of Photonic Integrated Circuits

Silicon photonics has been heralded for a number of high technology fields, but access to a high quality technology has been limited to vertically integrated design/fabrication companies, or fabless companies with significant resources to engage high volume fabs. More recently, research and development hubs have developed and released process design kits and multi-project wafer programs to lower t...
