AMF Silicon Photonics – A revolutionary technology

The key to Silicon Photonics lies in the ability to integrate multiple photonic components on a single chip. This enables Silicon Photonics integrated circuit (PIC) chips to achieve unprecedented performance, functionality, and economies of scale when compared to traditional photonics equivalents. The ability to integrate renders Silicon photonics invaluable in multiple technologies and market domains. Smaller form factor and performance gain by themselves present Silicon Photonics with disruptive opportunities which were never possible for traditional optics which was limited by material which could not be integrated and scaled like electronics.

Through a decade long intensive effort, AMF was successful in developing a comprehensive Silicon Photonic device library, which includes active and passive functional blocks such as high band width Photo Detectors, high speed Modulators, Mode-Converters, Optical Filters, Low loss waveguides, Integrated MEMS based packing structures etc. AMF offers these functional blocks through integrated platforms suited for different applications. Our customers can leverage on these pre-developed platforms to design their photonics products.

As AMF continues to innovate, next generation product platforms will be launched & delivered in rapid succession. AMF will continue to develop new technologies that will extend beyond Silicon Photonics and into other niche High Mix markets.
