  1. 'Rainbow-On-A-Chip' Breakthrough Could Help Unlock 6G Networks And Precision Timing For Quantum Technologies 8/21/2026

    Loughborough University physicists and an international team have demonstrated that a grain-of-rice-sized microchip can be used to produce a spectrum of precisely spaced frequencies of light, which is then converted into multiple high-frequency electromagnetic signals known as millimetre waves.

  2. Professor Yeom Dong-il's Team Develops First Quantum Entangled Light Source In Optical Communication Band Based On 2D Material-Fiber Device 8/20/2026

    A research team led by Professor Dong-il Yeom (Department of Physics, Department of Energy Systems Engineering) at Ajou University, in collaboration with a research team from the Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science, has succeeded in developing a communication-band optical fiber quantum entanglement light source based on 2D van der Waals materials.

  3. Swedish Deep Tech Company Solinide Raises 4M Euro To Commercialize Photonic Chip Technology For AI Data Centres 8/20/2026

    Solinide Photonics, developer of silicon nitride photonic integrated circuits for optical interconnects, announces the closing of a seed funding round from six financial and strategic investors. The €4M capital raise is a broadening of the investor consortia for the seed stage and represents an important milestone for the deep-tech company and will enable Solinide to commercialise its patented technology and prepare for scalable manufacturing.

  4. Intense Light Bent Out Of Shape - Ultrafast Lenses Made From Gas 8/20/2026

    Researchers from the MPIK in Heidelberg used an atomic gas as a time-dependent lens to shape and spectrally manipulate intense high-frequency laser pulses.

  5. OpenLight To Highlight Heterogeneous Silicon Photonics At Four Key Global Industry Events 8/20/2026

    OpenLight, a leader in heterogeneous silicon photonics integration and custom Photonic Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (PASIC) design, today announced it will showcase its fully integrated silicon photonics platform at four major industry events this September: TGS China, CIOE, ECOC, and Microelectronics UK.

  6. Singular Photonics Lands Funding To Launch Next-Generation Image Sensors As Commercial Traction Grows 8/19/2026

    Singular Photonics, a developer of SPAD-based image sensors, today announced it has closed an oversubscribed $2.15 million funding round, led by ACF Investors, with participation from Wren Capital, Cambridge Angels, Scottish Enterprise, Quantum Exponential and Old College Capital.

  7. Kitchen Foil Unlocks The Future Of Terahertz Technology 8/19/2026

    When physicists at the ARC Centre for Transformative Meta-Optical Systems (TMOS) needed a key component for their terahertz experiments, they ran into a frustrating problem – they needed tiny optical devices, known as wire-grid polarisers, but these cost thousands of dollars each.

  8. 3D-Printed Ceramic Waveguide Lasers Could Surpass The Power Of Glass Fiber Lasers By 10 Times 8/19/2026

    At the bottom of the ocean, optical fibers transmit telecommunications and internet data across the world. Waveguides make that feat possible by channeling and amplifying the light — and therefore the data within — over enormous distances.

  9. QTREX's Patent-Pending Technology Achieves First Direct Conversion Of 3D-Printed Insulation Into Graphene-Like Carbon To Protect Quantum Processors 8/19/2026

    QTREX Quantum Ltd. (Nasdaq: QTEX) ("QTREX" or the "Company"), a company focused on advancing Additively Manufactured Electronics (“AME”) for quantum computing infrastructure, today announced a patent-pending technology targeting one of quantum computing's recognized barriers to scale: stray radiation that breaks cooper pairs, generates quasiparticles, shortens qubit lifetimes and drives up error rates.

  10. Two Materials, Double The Effect: Max Planck Scientists Develop Hybrid Photonic Chips Capable Of Converting Light Colors 8/19/2026

    Photonic chips are undergoing continuous miniaturization. Today’s components are small enough to fit on a fingernail, yet capable of generating, manipulating and measuring light.
