LightCross General Information

Description

Developer of dynamic optical modules designed to provide hybrid integrated active optics and electronics on a single silicon chip. The company's dynamic optical modules are capable of delivering disruptive economics as the number of functions per chip increases and by their silicon chips dynamic optical power management, filtering and routing can be achieved at much lower power consumption than thermo-optic devices on silica planar circuits, enabling customers to set new standards in cost, size, speed and power consumption as compared with first generation silica based optical components, which have failed to deliver on the promise of integration.
