NIST Inks CRADA with AIM Photonics to Improve Chip Design
January 10, 2023
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has entered into a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with AIM Photonics that will give chip developers a critical new tool for designing faster chips that use both optical and electrical signals to transmit information. Called integrated photonic circuits, these chips are key components in fiber-optic networks and high-performance computing facilities and are used in laser-guided missiles, medical sensors and other advanced technologies.
