Visit of the company Photline | |
| PHOTLINE (iXBlue, Photonic Solution Division) 3 December 11:05 - 12:00 Five-minute walk from FEMTO-ST - Visit limited to 2*20 people Photline is a leading supplier of optical modulation solutions. The company masters the entire chain of LiNb03 modulators production from computer-assisted design to final characterization, through wafer processing. Markets served by Photline are : Opposite : In the heart of the wafer fab, a class 100 clean room, the multi-tube oven receives wafers for several key stages, including the titanium diffusion process that creates the optical waveguides within the LiNbO3 substrats. This operation requires a very accurate temperature control. © iXBlue, Photonic Solution Division |
lab tour > FEMTO-St | FEMTO-ST (Franche-Comté Electronics, Mechanics, Thermics and Optics - Sciences and Technologies) 3 December 11:05 - 12:00 or 17:15 - 18:15 Founded in 2004, the FEMTO-ST Institute undertakes research in various scientific disciplines related to engineering, information technology and communication. Its objective is to master micro and nanotechnologies, to develop new devices and systems, to optimize their performance, to provide them with new functions and make them “smart”. |
