Dutch Optical Core Router Silicon Photonics
Following this rationale, BOOM—as a European research initiative—aims to develop compact, cost-effective, and power-efficient silicon photonic components to enable optical Tb/s routers for current and new generation broadband core networks. In close collaboration with the University of Twente, MESA+ Nanolab, and photonic companies, New Origin will establish itself as an independent pure-play foundry, revolutionizing the industry by producing cutting-edge silicon nitride photonic chips. Integrated photonics uses the power of light to create energy-efficient, faster, and more accurate microchips. The technology is set to play an essential role in finding and developing solutions for the world's challenges, such as reducing energy consumption, improving healthcare, fighting food. During the past years, monolithic integration in InP has been the driving force for the realization of integrated photonic routing systems.
