Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. and Optoscribe, a Scottish-based major supplier of 3D glass-based integrated photonics components, have announced the formation of a strategic cooperation to provide multicore fiber (MCF) components for datacom and telecom applications.
The partnership will seed the market for practical use cases of Sumitomo Electric’s MCF interconnects. This is especially true for 4 core or greater MCF with fan-in/fan-out components based on 3D glass-based photonic circuits technology in datacom applications where ultra-high density optical interconnect is required.
Optoscribe’s 3D glass-based photonic integrated circuits combine embedded waveguides and high precision micromachining for applications ranging from data center optical transceiver interconnect, to fiber connectivity and consumer electronics.
