Description

In this program, Freedom Photonics intend to explore the new approaches to the balanced photodiode implementation, to obtain and verify a design that meets the Navy’s requirements, to develop multicore fiber coupling technology for photonic integrated circuits (PIC), and to leverage our expertise in PIC design, fabrication and packaging to produce a rugged final prototype, suitable for production. This work will leverage many of our Government and commercial programs and technologies, including our current work on 40 GHz balanced receives and 100 GHz, high-power photodetectors, both performed for the Navy where we have developed low-profile (5 mm) packaging technology for harsh environments.
