Photonera is a private venture-backed company which develops, manufactures and markets 10Gbit-class, ultra-dense optical sub-assemblies integrating electronic and optical components on the same chipset for telecommunications, data communications, and storage industries.
Photonera patented hybridization technology enables the intimate integration of photonic components, detector, optical modulator, edge emitting (FP, DFB) or vertical-cavity surface emitting (VCSELs) lasers, to high-speed Silicon VLSI-electronics. Self-aligned assembly techniques allow passive alignment and efficient optical coupling resulting in a user-friendly low cost optical interface.
