CEA-Leti advances silicon-integrated quantum cascade lasers for mid-IR photonics
What happened
CEA-Leti presented research at SPIE Photonics West 2026 on integrating quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with silicon photonic platforms for mid-infrared applications. This represents a long-term R&D milestone in photonic integration, not a near-term commercial production event. Neutral: This is a scientific development with no immediate impact on semiconductor supply, demand, or pricing.
