In under a decade, AIM Photonics achieved what once seemed unattainable: an open-access, robust multi-project wafer (MPW) platform for the domestic development of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Today, AIM Photonics’ MPW platform is enabling innovators to prototype faster, reduce costs, and accelerate the path from concept to commercial...

This summer, professionals, students, and faculty who want to build deeper expertise in integrated photonics will have the opportunity to learn from top experts from both industry and academia at the AIM Photonics Summer...

Each year, the NIST Office of Advanced Manufacturing enjoys the unique privilege of convening the Manufacturing USA network for its annual meeting. The 2025 Manufacturing USA Network Meeting was an energizing gathering of over 80 representatives from the program’s 18 manufacturing innovation institutes and supporting federal agencies. Over a day...

AIM Photonics announced today that distribution is underway for its Hands-On Photonics Education Kit (HOPE Kit)—a set of integrated photonics chips designed to help students at U.S. colleges and universities gain practical experience with photonic integrated...
