Leti and III-V Lab have marked a major step forward in silicon photonics by combining onto a single chip a hybrid laser (III-V materials and silicon) with 9-nm wavelength tunability and a silicon modulator. Conventionally, the laser sources for photonic components are fabricated separately and transferred onto the substrate, which complicates the process and results […] >>

Scientists at the Grenoble Astrophysics Institute recently made a major advancement in telescope technology by replacing conventional mirror-and-lens systems with Leti’s integrated optical chip. The pioneering system they installed in the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) in Chile uses an unprecedented four telescopes simultaneously, with any number of possible combinations. Moreover, the first images were […] >>

MINATEC recently introduced a new turnkey laboratory service—the only one of its kind in the world—inspired by the CIME Nanotech joint lab between Grenoble Institute of Technology and Joseph Fourier University. This service, called Nanolab, is intended for governments wishing to spur technological innovation in their countries. Experts from the French Atomic and Alternative Energy […] >>

MINATEC’s educational outreach programs are gaining traction, especially the Nano@School program for middle- and high-school students. At its last meeting, the MINATEC board decided to draw up a list of 20 engineers and researchers—10 from INAC and 10 from Leti—to lead the program’s activities, which include science workshops for students, training for teachers, and outreach […] >>
