This year's Laser Focus Innovators Awards announces that SemiNex Corporation www.seminex.com has won a gold award for its high-power Gain Chips and Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (RSOA) Arrays. These high-power RSOA Arrays offer exceptional optical and thermal performance, featuring proprietary material systems and advanced quantum-well waveguide designs. The design advancements enable the creation of high-power narrow-linewidth external cavity lasers, suitable for both fixed and tunable wavelengths, and comb frequency lasers. Customizable channel pitch and alignment features allow system designers to minimize footprint and integrate seamlessly with Si PIC.

As the demand for high-power computing for AI and I/O interfaces in data centers continues to grow, these RSOA Arrays are well-positioned to assist system designers in meeting their target specifications, leading the way in the next generation of photonics systems. The ongoing innovation in semiconductor optical amplifier technology builds on previous successes, such as award-winning SOA arrays, further pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the field.
