Lily Yeung, Molex Ventures’ vice president, said: “This investment and collaboration combines Elenion’s key strength in advanced silicon photonics core technology, with Molex’ core capabilities in complex product integration, efficient manufacturing and global sales and marketing. [It] provides the most advanced and compelling product solutions to our customers.”
Amongst Elenion developments is a monolithic integrated modulator/receiver assembly (pictured) for high speed communications. The coherent optical engine is said to supports 100/200G communications, whilst the small form factor enables its use in pluggable transceiver and on-board applications.
“Collaborating with Molex will significantly accelerate production and deployments of our silicon photonic technology serving global customers that demand an ever-increasing pace of innovation for high-speed optical communication solutions,” said Elenion’s CEO Larry Schwerin.
