Vertical integration of optical engines for POC/PON bio-sensing applications.
by Cedrik Coia
This presentation showcases the capabilities of AEPONYX in vertical integration of optical engines and how they can accelerate the access to market of point-of-care/point-of-need optical biosensing applications. Through its activities in the field of optical telecommunications, AEPONYX has developed a versatile portfolio of technological building blocks in in several areas such as SiN-based integrated photonics, active optical device integration in PICs, packaging and electronics control. We are pioneering the use of photonic wire bonding as the central technology to drive cost reduction of internal optical interconnections. On the electronics side, we internalize system control, DC and RF designs, as well as test expertise such that we are a one stop shop for complete optical engine and systems integration. This technological portfolio allows us to take a product from the design phase down to the final test phase, both in low-volume and high-volume production schemes. We are now looking for partners with expertise in the field of microfluidics, liquid sample handling, surface functionalization, and analyte-specific analysis intelligence to close the development loop of biosensing applications.
