SemiNex Corporation, a manufacturer of high-power semiconductor laser diodes and optical amplifiers, has won Gold Honoree in the 2024 Laser Focus World Innovators Awards for its high-power gain chips and Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (RSOA) Arrays.
An experienced panel of judges from the optics and photonics community has recognized SemiNex as this year’s award recipient. The Gold level award acknowledges an innovation that exemplifies outstanding achievement and significant impact in the photonics community.
The high power RSOA Arrays with proprietary material system and advanced quantum-well waveguide design deliver excellent optical and thermal performances. These advancements allow the realization of high-power narrow-linewidth external cavity lasers (for both fixed and tunable wavelengths) and comb frequency lasers. The customizable channel pitch and alignment features offer system designers the freedom to minimize the footprint and integrate with silicon photonic integrated circuits (Si PICs).
As high-power computing for artificial intelligence and I/O interfaces at data centers demand ever-increasing optical power, SemiNex’ gain chip/RSOA Array platform is poised to help system designers achieve their target specifications and lead the next generation of photonics systems. The company continues to push the boundaries of semiconductor optical amplifier technology, building on last year’s success with award-winning SOA arrays. This latest recognition by Laser Focus World further establishes SemiNex as a leader in the semiconductor photonics industry.
