NLM Photonics is based in Seattle and develops cutting-edge photonics solutions for transforming networking, computing, and sensing alongside our global partners. NLM Photonics was awarded a $1.8 million AFWERX STTR Phase II Contract from the U.S. Air Force. This award funds a 21-month project with AIM Photonics to potentially offer modulator components in AIM Photonics’ process design kits (PDKs) for silicon-organic hybrid devices on the institute’s 300 mm silicon photonics platform. This project involves multiple design and optimization iterations, including one or more multi-project wafer (MPW) tapeouts with AIM Photonics, followed by a full custom wafer run to evaluate process yield and scalability. Can NLM be regarded as the best company to offer photonics solution in US?
