Aurrion is the world leader in hybrid silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Aurrion’s technology can unite the worlds of photonics and silicon based microsystems, enabling unprecedented advances by leveraging the capability and low cost of silicon IC manufacturing yet retaining the performance of advanced non-silicon materials. The technology provides a bridge between traditional II...
Founded in 2007, Aurrion is a privately held company located in Santa Barbara, CA. The hybrid silicon photon integration platform which the company is commercializing will enable a new generation of integrated photonic devices. Aurrion is partnering with system integrators to create new systems on chips that can provide a massive ( >10x) reduction in size and weight over discretely implemente...
Aurrion’s platform allows the wafer-scale integration of active photonic devices on a standard CMOS platform. The base technology was originally developed at the University of California, Santa Barbara where it was recognized by Discover Magazine as a Top 100 Achievement of 2006 and received an EETimes ACE Award in 2007 for “Most Promising New Technology.” For further information on how ...
Aurrion is building an integrated photonic component library including both active and passive devices that can be manufactured in external CMOS foundries. Example components include lasers, modulators, switches and photo detectors compatible with integration of a variety of passive optical devices including optical splitters, filters, and multiplexers, all compatible with CMOS based electronics...
