FRENCH LASER DIODE SOLUTIONS RAMPING UP FAST. When AeroDIODE developed their first nanosecond pulsed laser diode driver more than 15 years ago, they couldn’t have predicted how fast the demand would grow for flexible solutions. In 2024, they have a very broad offer of high-speed and low-noise laser diode drivers, fibre-coupled laser diodes, fibre-coupled high-speed modulators, synchronization electronic tools and reliability test solutions. At CLEO Conference 2024, AeroDIODE CTO Adèle Morisset walked me through their range and ex[explained what’s on the horizon. One thing that won’t change – is their mission to offer researchers and entrepreneurs clear pricing, fast delivery and ever smaller devices. We like that approach to business at Optica. AeroDIODE is a multinational company based in Bègles, France (near Bordeaux) plus a production centre in the famous optics and photonics cluster in #Bozeman, Montana. USA. (fun fact: On a per-capita basis, Bozeman, Montana has one of the highest densities of optics companies found anywhere in the United States.) Onward!

Fabricating Junctionless Transistors - image from a presentation by RADICAL project members Sayantan Ghosh and Yordan M. Georgiev et al at the Nanonet+ Workshop. "In this work, we report on the fabrication and electrical characterization of the junctionless nanowire transistor, a transistor consisting of a highly doped nanowire channel without p-n junctions, where the flow of carriers is controlled by the gate potential. To fabricate these transistors, intrinsic silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers were n-doped by ion implantation."
