Micro-lenses. Key components for 3D imaging systems
The ability to perceive the world in three dimensions was a key success factor in the development of human mankind. What people have been able to do forever, machines are still at the beginning of exploring next generation opportunities. No doubt, equipping machines with intelligent sensing technologies will sustainably boost our future. 3D imaging and sensing technologies are key in the acquisition of data perceived from the real world and transformed into digital objects, manufacturing workflows or decision-making processes. This technology is already ubiquitous in our daily life, for face-scanning, autonomous driving and robotics for example. Behind every imaging and sensing system, there is a dedicated piece of optics to catch or guide the light signals. When performance counts, the

Ranovus First with Monolithic 100G Optical I/O Cores
Ranovus Inc. has announced the availability of its protocol-agnostic Odin™ 100G optical I/O cores based on GF Fotonix™, GlobalFoundries’ recently announced next-generation, monolithic platform. GF Fotonix™ is claimed to be the first in the industry to combine its differentiated 300mm photonics and RF- CMOS features on a silicon wafer, delivering best-in- class performance at scale. Ranovus says Odin 100G optical I/O chiplets and IP cores can be integrated with processors, switches, and memory appliances to enable new data centre architectures for machine learning, artificial intelligence, metaverse, cloud, 5G communications, and defence
Officer of RANOVUS. “Our close collaboration with GlobalFoundries underlines our joint commitment to deliver a fully featured set of qualified IP cores and chiplets with OSAT-ready high-volume manufacturing flows and supporting ecosystem to enable the huge potential of monolithic silicon photonics.” As previously announced, RANOVUS has developed a flexible co-packaged optics architecture (Analog-Drive CPO 2.0) together with a Tier 1 ecosystem for high volume manufacturing of Odin chiplets. The first customer co-packaged solution with 800Gbps Odin optical I/O is being demonstrated at OFC 2022 with samples based on the GF Fotonix platform shipping now.
