  • Ayar Labs Strikes Government Contract, Eyes Growth

    Nov 10, 2022, 04:01 AM By: RSS Feed

    Ayar Labs has been awarded a $15 million multiyear prototype Other Transaction Agreement (OTA) in support of Project KANAGAWA — the Co-Packaged Analog-Drive High-Bandwidth Optical Input/Output Project. The OTA, a nontraditional government contracting method for fast tracking research and innovation, was issued by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC), Crane Division to support the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Research & Engineering Trusted & Assured Microelectronics (T&AM) program.

    In a separate development, Ayar Labs also added two industry veterans to its executive team in newly created roles.

    KANAGAWA will promote the development of Ayar Labs’ optical interconnects to lead its transition...

  • Model Reveals Microspheres’ Effect on Interferometric Resolution

    Nov 10, 2022, 02:00 AM By: RSS Feed
    Though microspheres — microscale spherical particles that can be manufactured from natural and synthetic materials — are known to improve lateral resolution and enhance magnification in microscopic imaging, a generally accepted explanation for their positive effect on resolution has yet to be introduced. Microsphere-assisted measurements are used in a wide range of applications: These measurements support examination of the features of engineered surfaces with lateral dimensions beyond the resolution limit, and also apply to evaluation of biological and medical objects such as viruses and subcellular structures.

    As a result, many theoretical studies have been conducted to better understand the role of microspheres in...
